I build PC's. I used to fix PC's. I'M SICK OF PC'S. I'm sick of the windows crashes and problems, programs running slow, the constant looking for malware, I'm FREAKING SICK OF IT.So. Mac mini with a 1 terrabyte drive? Get an adaptor for my monitor, plug in a keyboard and mouse (do Mac's use the same mice as PC's?) and I'm all set.
I'll keep the PC for gaming only. I'll use the MAC for email, web, spreadsheets, banking, etc.
So is this a crazy idea or would I like being a MAC guy?
Let's hear from anyone who has made the jump....
PS: Show stopper - the Logitech Media server for my Touch will work on a MAC, yes?
