Of course it depends in the amount of money you want to expend on, but
I had been working with in an iMac SE (G3 400mhz, 1.5Gb HD, 128Mb RAM)
and I have 4 operating systems inside... no problem so far.
However, there are Win apps which do not even install in it... but now
I simplly do not care.
If you do, you will find your self more and more time inside OSX
(server or user) and less any other place...
Suerte!

Hey, Everyone!
Any feedback or advice to this email would be GREATLY appreciated. I
need
to know which Mac to buy.
I am a senior Microsoft developer with about 20 years of experience
under my
belt. I know NOTHING about Macs but have been wanting one for many
years.
In fact, I have replaced many of my system files on my Windows XP
machine to
emulate OS X.
Here is my dilemma.
I want a Mac but I don't want to lose productivity in the Microsoft
world.
I cannot abandon my existing customers. I know I can run VirtualPC to
continue my Windows development, but I am curious as to how well it
runs
(speed, reliability, etc.). I primarily do web development using
VisualStudio.NET (using ASP/ASPX, XML, SOAP, SQL Server, etc.) and also
build many compiled applications using C# and VB.NET (and still some
older
VB development using Visual Basic v6.0).
Will I be successful if I go with the top-of-the-line iMac with 1GB of
RAM?
Do I need a G4 processor or will the iMac's 800 MHz G3 be enough? I am
currently using a 1.2 GHz PIII so I would rather not suffer from a big
performance hit.
If it works out, I may start moving from the Microsoft world to
developing
for the Mac and Linux platforms as well. I just know I want a Mac.
Again, ANY advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Fred Lackey
Orlando, Florida
