Thanks Dave, that settled my worries :D

Hi KenB. Thanks for the help! That link to the Tom's hardware site, and the Cnet reviews piece was good - helped a lot! I like this forum :D

We use PC's in our office, and I have been a PC user for well over 2 decades! Recently an iMac was thrust upon us by the boss! I have used it a few times, and quite like it. I must admit that as soon as I get a bit stuck, I run to my laptop! But a few things can help the switch, I find... Enabling the right click for a start! In terms of pros vs. cons, this is what I find (although it's just my opinion!): * Pretty quick boot time * Less malware or viruses (or should that be Virii?!) * Looks neat! hahaha * Screens are high quality on iMac I feel, similar to iPhones I guess! Kinda solid feeling * If you use Linux at all, the command line stuff on Mac is very similar, due to being Unix based (I believe, although tech guys, correct me if I am wrong!) * Once you get used to them, they work really well, less clunky than many PCs * As (again, I believe, but may be wrong) all the hardware is designed by Apple, it all just 'works' together much better, whereas with a PC, the mainboard may be from one company, graphics card another... soundcard a different one still, etc... Not necessarily all totally compatible). Cons... * Some specialist programmes may not be available on Macs * Repairs may cost more... or at least harder to 'user repair' or 'user upgrade' * The OS is a bit different, and will take some getting used to * Perhaps the worst Con, is you will have to admit to all your PC mates that you have joined 'The Other Side' !!! ​Hope that helps!

Have any of you guys got, or at least used, a HD TV graphics card? I am wondering if there is any point, and if the picture is truly HD (obviously my monitor is HD ready, and I checked here: http://www.digitalchoices.co.uk/hd-tv/hd-coverage-checker.html and it says I am in a Freeview HD area, so in theory all should be good, I guess!) I just wonder if maybe the processing power of the PC (2nd Gen i5, 6gig RAM), would make it jolty? or... would the graphics card handle ALL the processing? I guess what I wonder is, how much of the processing will be done by the graphics card, and how much by the CPU of the mainboard? Finally (sorry for all the question!) any advice on the best PCI-E Graphics card, with a HD tuner, for £250 or under??? Thanks Guys! Patrick

I also use Avast! I have used Avira in the past also... And personally I find Chrome much less 'heavy' than IE these days, so maybe switching browsers would help? (although I know some folks fiercely defend IE though!). Just my take...

What are the new add-ons for Firefox? Does any other browsers have same add- on feature?

Hie all ...Newbie here ..friends welcome..

What are the question to be prepared on scripting language for the interview? Plz update with the list of All the scripting languages?
