RE: [tlug] sorry

["Haru A." <takaanna@example.com>]

Hello!

Well, first of all, I should be sorry too because I think it's my 2nd or 3rd 
post in 3 or 4 years... (I'm "read only"...).

I'm not a Mac guru, but I know a little since I bought an iBook G4 3 years 
ago.

Apple sales are quite different than PC. In fact, if you have a look in 
Apple Store (or any computer shop), you should see: Mac Mini, iMac and Mac 
Pro. That's almost all. Because when Apple releases a new computer, the old 
version disappears from stores.

However, there are some subversion of iMac (or Mac Pro), but the cost 
increase while the computer configuration doesn't change so much (especially 
for notebooks).

As for the cost, you'll notice that's the same everywhere. If you buy it in 
online Apple store, or in a shop, you'd pay the same.

> From these clues, you can have a look in Apple store, then you'll notice 
that Mac mini is for low works (internet, word proicessing...), Mac Pro is 
for "Pros" or at least for people who works with video, and iMac is for most 
of people. Then, your choice will depends mostly on the screen size. (Mac 
world is simple...)

About Mac software, since Mac OS X, a lot of softwares made for linux are 
also compiled for Mac OS. If you want more, DarwinPorts or Fink will help 
you, but you really can live without them (as for me, I used DarwinPorts 
only in order to get Sylpheed).

Hope it helps.

Paul
