“I've used PCs since they were first launched and there...”

I've used PCs since they were first launched and there are always annoying niggles and for the first time I've invested in an iMAC. What a difference! First impression when I opened the box and just found a screen was "dammit they've not included the actual Mac, i'll have to go back to the shop". This turned to amazement when I realised the Mac was built into the screen and there was no box!!!!!! The keyboard is the best I've ever used and looks great, the mouse is excellent but why-oh-why can't you right click to get a sub-menu up? Installation could not have been easier including the internet which normally can be a pain. The iMAC adds a touch of class to everything it does, the preinstalled software is outstanding and there is a real emphasis on creativity and linking up the apps. It runs fast and the screen is many times better than any pc screen I've ever had, the backlighting makes it feel so much better in terms of brightness, quality and definition and of course there is the 27" size - which means you can have multiple apps open and see then properly. Using keyboard shortcuts is a must as there is not right click context menu available. BTW for anyone that get's stuck looking for the "On" button it's a flush round button on the back of the screen! The hardware has a clean minimalist feel and I urge you all to make the change, you won't regret it.
