Dirty? No, now you are a real man. Congratulations and welcome to the world of friendly computing.

Well I don't know if I'm fully initiated yet. I do my day to day work on a 2.5 ghz dual 17" LCD system. My 800 mhz 12" iBook is a little underpowered ;), but so far I'm loving GarageBand... except that it keeps telling me that it can't play something due to performance problems...

Mac snobs? Hey, I resemble that remark!

Don't worry, I still like you (as I dig through Sherlock to find a movie playing nearby...). I'm seriously loving the UI, but Dreamweaver, with all it's floaty panels... it's like going back to DW 4 (blech!)

ALAS!!! I have finally lost the boy into the wormhole of the Apple! Nay, I will never see him again. Left to swirl into the great abyss! Farewell my son, I will throw a line and try to save you!!! Our Deepest Love, The Abandoned PC Parents

Hi, I accidently (yes, I admit it) clicked your site link, took a short look at it, and to my big surprise see that you are a proud Mac user now. Congrats! :-) Sure, 12" iBook is a little too small for development and underpowered for GarageBand, but great for other purposes. Btw, have you got the Apple webcam iSight or using a PC one?

Hi :), Sadly I am webcam-less at the moment. I've been thinking of grabbing one, but can't really choose what I want. Been looking at all kinds of Logitech products. Is the iSight a good product, and will it work with a PC at all (considering that's my main machine)?

All tests, and not only Apple or Mac related, say that iSight is one of the best webcams on the market. Together with iChat AV 2.1 is said to be even the best combo for web video conferencing. They say it works great from Mac to Mac. Officially it is combatible also with PC AIM 5.5, however many people have problems between Mac-PC, no one knows why. I have no idea if you could connect iSight to a PC. But with your iBook it would be plug-and-play. And DSL is welcome too. iChat AV works only via AOL (AIM), no MSN or other similar services.

Cool, that's for the info. I'll have to do some googling on the iChat/PC thing :).
