Uh....Macs have worked just fine with regular PC mice for 5 years now genius.
You can install XP on the Macbook along with OSX now, so they're a pretty good deal. I don't see that many computers with two hard drives. A little 160GB firewire drive wouldn't take up too much space. You could make it FAT32 so PCs and Macs could both use it.

"For starters who wants a computer with a mouse that Only Has ONE BUTTON,Oh and believe me the list goes on but if I was to really start I wouldn't finish." - I dare you, do it. And who needs a twenty-five-button mouse when everything you need to do can be done with one?

If you're solely going to work with photographs, video, etc., then it may not hurt to consider going Mac. I was a die-hard Windows user until my friend, a long-time Mac user, convinced me to switch over. It was a bit awkward to use OS X for the first time (coming from a PC.) That awkwardness wore away after the first day or two to the point where I cannot imagine going back.

You will be able to create stunning movies and photographs on your Macintosh. If you're going to travel a lot and need a computer close by, the Macbook Pro is the way to go. Though expensive, the investment is definitely worth it. Your video creation process with be much smoother thanks to the on-board graphic card. The Macbook Pro starts at $1,999.00.

If you're not looking to spend that much, consider the Macbook. I personally own the most basic, entry level model. I have no complaints. Video editing is a breeze -- as long as your video sources aren't huge.

And lastly, I'd recommends the Mac Pro. This is the ultimate power machine offered by Apple. I myself have a one-year-old PowerMac G5 and I'm telling you, this thing blows away every other computer in the city.

**Tips: Max out your ram, you'll be glad you did; Consider an external hard drive if you intend to purchase a notebook;

**I should also note that your Mac (heaven forbid) will run Microsoft Office as well as Microsoft Windows within Mac OS X.

**If you're not in a hurry, wait a month for Apple to release their next operating system -- Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)

Mac workstation would not enable consumers to characteristic or "minus" any ingredient. in straightforward terms authorized individuals are allowed to realize this, or you will lose your guarantee. while you're pertaining to dvd author (exterior), then this is going to likely be a USB exterior one. you could examine your dvd author interior the information superhighway to verify despite if this is nicely suited to Mac too. yet while this is an inner one, do no longer replace it your self.
