New iMac owner here... please advise
hi guys/gals,
I am a new apple user starting from today onwards. I am having alot of problems adjusting to the Apple iMac which i bot.
can someone advise me on the following:
1) which irc clients is the most similar to MIRC ?
2) I still have a powerful PC to run a few programs like Photoshop. Photoshop 7 is coming soon and should i change it to the Mac version?
3) my iMac is G4 800 with 256 meg ram. will there be drastic improvement if i add in another 512meg ram?
4) Office VX. Is this exactly the same as Office for windows?
cheers
that's all for now
thanks alot.

however, in the future, questions like this really belong in the genius bar.
in order.
1. don't know of irc clients on the mac. i know there are some, but i haven't used any in years.
2. i would go with the mac version of Photoshop. i've used PS on macs and PC's, and have always liked the mac versions better. not sure why, they just seem like they're put together better.
3. in general, the more RAM OSX has the better. i just put 1 gig in an 800 Mhz iMac, and it has helped a lot with speed.
4. office X on the mac isn't the exact same in layout but the files will interchange perfectly between Office XP (pc) and office v.x (mac).

ROFL Sarin nice day!! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />
Photoshop will run v.fast on a G4800 provided you have lots and lots of RAM. I'm still on the standard 256mb that came with my G4800imac and I'm finding that performance is definitely restricted because of that.
If you can afford it go for the 512 RAM, but WOW are they expensive at the moment.
What made you go over to Apple anyway? Seduced by the best looking computer ever
