We are just about at the end of our 3 yr rental period with our trusty
imac and are thinking of buying 2 machines (who gets to play on the
shiny apple..me..me!!
So current thinking is
1 ibook for Roger who writes and searches the net for research and
one 15 in superdrive powerbook for me because I give presentations;
design web pages; collect oodles of photos and do lots of stuff on the
net (as well as test lots of different software)
Is this a better solution that a desktop imac and a 12 powerbook (cause
we'll have advd drive in the imac.
Now some questions.
Is the applecare warranty worth the money? Do the notebooks die that
much after the first year?
What's the best way to transfer all the stuff we want to keep from the
present imac to one or other of the notebooks?
I know how to copy documents etc but how do I move email and
addressbook contacts and iphoto library etc
A lot of questions, but after 12 years on windows machines (yuk!) we
are very happy "switchers" , I still don't know much about the backend
of macs (nothing much goes wrong so you don't need to!)
