Im very interested in thi s osx, I havent yet used mac though and in fact know nothing about them in general.. Most important is the differences in hardware.. can anyone explain some of the major differences in this area vs a PC./also what kind of flexibility is there in piecing a mac machine together?? any resources or information on this subject would be greatly appreciated Thanks again

Dear Sir, I'm always happy to help direct PC users in the right computing direction. I don't know much about OS X, but there's plenty to find out about it here: http://www.apple.com/ http://www.macdirectory.com/ http://www.macworld.com/ http://www.resexcellence.com/ Mac OS 8 thru 9.1 are also great. Other than adding RAM or upgrading the CPU, Macs usually aren't "pieced together." You'll find that even Macs as old as 1996 models are very well-made, let alone the G3 iMacs and G4s since 1998. Let me know if you have any other questions! Danny
