Hia chaps,
In the slow decay of my pc I'm considering all the options for replacement when the day finally comes to replace this otherwise beauty of a machine, my dear AMD Duron.

Today, whilst at dixons, I actually went there looking for a laptop but found the laptop range boring blah blah then I stumbled across the mac mini, and after a play around for 5mins or so I am quite up for getting one, so I'd like to query everyone who has had experience with mac's - I know Joeholmes has just bought one and so I'm intrigued into their useability, user-friendlyness and whether or not anyone knows if they can enter a network with a computer running windows for Internet sharing easily - and also the later upgrade to wireless networking.

Thanks in advance for any info! :)

Why were you in Dixons for a PC?!. IF you have a wireless network the Mac should be fine.

On the topic of macs, does anyone know if IrfanView has been ported over to Mac, or is there a similar program?

Thanks
