It is easier to use and it would be on right now, even though slower than my PC, but for normal task bearable (and a fraction of the cost of my PC so not an unfair comparison). I much prefer the method for downloading and installing apps. I even found where to set my DNS because my ISP was having problems. I did think the DNS would require a trip to this thread, but it was pretty simple to find.
BUT
to sign up to party poker I have to sell my soul to the devil, give them my phone number and all sorts.
Now we can argue till we are blue in the face about the merits or otherwise of playing poker, but until I can find a solution to the problem the Mac is staying unplugged
ps your comment about brad and the turnips on the rawkdebating thread was brilliant
