I am lucky enough to have been lent my first computer, which is a Macintosh Performa. I am reliably informed that it is an older model, but it is all new to me! I am speedily heading for 40 and have never had the pleasure of a computers company before. I find it all rather overwhelming. All the on screen instructions seem to be abbreviated and I need a dictionary for most of the language used. Even so, I am thoroughly enjoying discovering the internet and meeting new people. It has certainly opened up a whole new world for me. The only advantage I did start off with was keyboard skills acquired from school way back when there was such a thing as a manual typewriter! ...  Read the complete review

It is wholly due to the inevitable conflation of rampant consumerism and technology that I am able to write a review on the product that is the human brain. I would like to opine on the combined synaptic transactions of a typical, contemporary Apple computer user. I have had a lot of experience with this product and have generally found it to be reasonably user friendly in most respects, creative to the point of serious self-importance, cliquey to the extent of Freemasonry, negligibly more powerful than others and uncommon in my field of expertise. It is no more stable than other computer user brains contrary to claims. Although it's computational ...  Read the complete review

The Pro keyboard and mouse comes with all new desktop Apple computers, including the iMac and PowerMac G4 computers, and replaces the much hated 'pebble' accessories for the previous iMac. You can also buy the Pro Keyboard and Pro Mouse from the Apple Store online, for £39 each. They are USB-based peripherals for Macintosh style computers, but also work with PC based computers, and even with the much talked about PlayStation 2. I know, because I have tried. You can load up yaBasic on the PS2 and type using an Apple keyboard. But enough about that... What are they like? Are they worth it? Firstly, the mouse. The mouse is based on optical technology, ...  Read the complete review

If you want a hassle-free, no-nonsense computer experience, and if you're not aiming to break all dooyoo records by becoming an expert on jargon and acronyms, then do yourself a favour and get a Mac. Because let's face it, beyond chips and MHz and bus speeds and what-not, the beauty of a Macintosh computer lies in its uncanny simplicity, in its ease of use. Open a Windows folder, especially one of the "system" folders, and unless you've wasted a decent amount of time figuring out all the arcana of the software, you'll be swamped in nonsensical names, with filenames like 003254XFR.inf. Not so with a Mac. All files (alright, alright, MOST files) ...  Read the complete review

Apple has always had a tendency to 'think different', and there new range is Different. But who says different is bad? People said Albert Einstein was different was he bad? Was Mahatma Gandi? He encouraged humanity to take a U-turn from its violent, self destructive impulse. These are the type of people we lack in the world today I beleive for human kind to evolve we must think different. Question the so called normal things we do. Is it normal? & normal for who? Paza Hertfordshire ...  Read the complete review
