Thanks much.

I'm on a tower now, but have owned an iMac in the past. The one thing I do not like about an iMac is that both monitor and CPU are housed in the same box which is both a blessing and a pain. If one goes out you have to take the whole mess into a repair shop. However it does take up less footprint on your desk.

I personally would take a Mac Mini over an iMac unless you are going to be doing more than e-mail, posting, surfing, routine word processing and spread sheets in which case you should be looking at a tower anyway.

Otherwise you'll pry my Mac from my cold dead fingers. It is more stable and problem free than any Windows box.

OI - I really do not know much of what I am talking about, but from what I am seeing the tablets are going to devour phones and notebooks, if not laptops - in a roundabout way.

They will indeed hurt laptop sales, but not phones and not desktops. Smart phones will be the biggest platform for mobile computing in the world, with tablets being far behind, while desktops will continue to be the low cost, fast, expandable solution for businesses and homes. Notebooks will still survive I think as a mobile desktop replacement, but the lighter versions will die out due to competition from tablets.

Thanks much for all the thoughts, opinions, advice, and hints here.

ubuntu is the only other OS not mentioned, that I know of.

And their price (free) is very do-able.

I ran Ubuntu for about a year. I still prefer the Mac OS X but Ubuntu is preferable to Windows and is very user friendly compared to older Linux set-ups.

There is a version of Open Office for Ubuntu Machines and it is efficient enough to run on a slower computer.

The drawbacks are that you still need to learn a lot about the OS to do some of things that are point and click on a Mac.

While I haven't used it since Version 7.04 it is, by all accounts, getting easier to use with each generation.

The other drawback is software availability. There is a lot in the way of basic productivity software but video and graphics software is spotty.

Checking their site yesterday, Ub is up to 10.10 I believe.

I like Ubuntu and were it not for the fact that I prefer the ease of use of the Mac OS I would probably still be running on it. However, I use a computer as a tool to do work and I don't care to be a geek. To get the most out of Ubuntu you have to be willing to take the time to learn the geek stuff that really makes it functional and as it stands now I'm not willing to take the time.
