I am looking to change my desktop PC which is 6 years old now I also have a 2 year old laptop. After reading on here how much better they are? I may consider a Mac but with the cost being so much more, I need convincing. What can I not do on them? do I need anti virus on them? as I understand it all software available for a PC is not available for them, is this a drawback or are there alternatives. Due to the costs of a Mac I would be looking at the cheap end of the market, so any recommendations for either PC or Mac?

Ahh WayneKerr has started the auld debate agin...

all I know is that Mac's stress me out - far too dictatorial and inflexible. Although, according to my wife, they look pretty and she want's one.

Personally I want to go the jungle and get Ubuntu...

Try handbrake, much lauded software and very easy to use.

All I know is life got a lot less stressful when I switched to Mac.

seriously? Handbrake? Never have i seen such a slow program. The speed of DVD Fab 5 is 20 mins for a rip, less for a burn. Handbrake, i tried...2hrs for a rip and then it couldnt make a dvd could it..no no.. thats too much like hard work..
