Going Mac in one week

Sukhoikid · 06-18-2007, 08:58 PM

Well my birthday is coming up and I decided to ask for a Mac computer. I am getting the imac 20 inch mac computer. I am mainly going to use this for video work and website work and for school. I will also be able to use it for Real Flight g3. Cant wait to get it. Anyone else have this system.

My uncle has the 24". He loves it.

Kev - G3? I have a 20" IMAC. Killer computer. Toro and I use them with Final Cut Studio for the DVD's. Perfect for that kind of stuff.

I think you can. My mom order software to play windows products. I think it is called virtual player??? Guess I will find out when I get it.

I wanted the 24 but was scared it wouldnt fit and look right on my desk i have now lol. This computer though is going to be perfect for what I do.

Sure you can use G3.5. The trick is to download and install Bootcamp from Apple. Its free. Bootcamp creates a partition and a disk of drivers for windows. You must then install windoze to the partition that Bootcamp created. Real easy to do. You then have a dual booting machine. Boot up in windoze to use G3. G3 works great, better then my computer at work. I've done this on my MacBook Pro dual core 2. Tried G3 with Parallels, but just couldn't get the interlink to be recognized.

Ah yes, forgot about that option Dan.

**Kiwi** · 06-19-2007, 03:36 PM

Dang it Dan. I had almost given up hope of ever running AFPD again as I have a G5 dual pro and even with that crappy virtual windows thing installed it wont run.

Looks Like I have a some homework ahead of me.

Please keep an eye open on this thread coz sure as fried eggs I'm gonna cook something doing this.

No more windoze from Moccosoft down this way. I'm an incurable Mac addict.
