Following the iPhone I bought last week, part two of my switch to Apple is now complete after I finally purchased a 24" iMac.
Although it is not online yet (just waiting for O2 to take over my broadband) I have already been extremely impressed with the iMac. The huge screen is amazing and will make sorting and editing my photographs far easier and faster. I have already installed Adobe Lightroom (albeit only version 1.1 until I'm online) and it absolutely flies compared to my PC version.
Once I'm online I'll be able to sync up the calendar and contacts on my phone with the iMac, and vice versa. This will make appointment making far more efficient and straightforward. I also bought a package called "mobile me" which means that my email, calendar, contacts and photos will also be stored in an online "cloud" (Apple's words not mine!) so even when I don't have access to my Mac or phone, providing I'm near a computer, I'll be able to refer to all this information.
Despite the fact I've only had it for a few days, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the iMac. As well as the fact it's clearly going to make my workflow so much faster and efficient I don't have to worry about viruses, trojans, spyware, malware and all the other nasty things PCs tend to attract, to anywhere near the same extent as I have been up to now. One of the reasons my current PC runs quite slowly is because of all the ant-virus software I have installed. Macs are not infallible but they are much more secure than PCs.
Will let you know how I get on when I'm online and using the Mac as my first choice computer!
