I've got an i-Mac DV 400mhz. It's tangerine and goes nicely with the terracotta walls in my office. But I got it for more than that reason. It complements my DV camcorder wonderfully.

I use wintel machines at work so I was abit reticent about shelling for a system I had never used b4. I thought it would be difficult to learn, but how wrong could I be? Mac OS is soooo easy, its all point and click, no nasty pathways and files hidden deep in the system software. True there isnt the flexibility and chance to screw up your machine by fiddling around with the registry, but why would you want to do that when youve got a super fast, cool looking machine. I compared it to my mates P3 600hz and mine knocked it into a cocked hat. Overall, its great. Get one! ...
