iMac help

[JERRY2KONE]

You would have been better off just frying the Apple and getting her a new Intel laptop for Xmas. There are so many good laptop/notebooks out there right now for really low prices and with holiday sales you can get a pretty nice PC for a lot less than that Apple is going to cost you over the next year. You would eraise a lot of issues for the long term. That old Apple is going to keep biting you in the a$$ with problems and as you well know repairs and parts are not cheap. We picked up two notebooks in the last two months. One is my Toshiba L655 with an Intel I-3 2.1mhz duel core CPU, 6gigs of ddr3 ram, with a 500gig sata drive for $675. I got the wife an HP with similar specs for under $500, and both came with built in cameras and Windows 7 64 bit bundled in with a bunch of other software.

I still have my big old 15 year old desktop in the office with a 32" flat panel TV/monitor wich is pretty similar to the Apple setup. I have had to update some of hte hardware over the years, but it is still just as fast as our other PC's and working on it and getting things fixed are a lot easier than those money hungry apples. I like using the bigger screen because I am getting older and my eyesight is not what it used to be.
