The IMac is my first Apple computer. I was drawn to the design and the look of the Imac. The features were right for me and I was very sick of dealing with the constant problems with PCs. It comes loaded with some very useful software but is not bogged down by the product. For eBay use the Iphoto program is fantastic. Also purchased Garagesale. This program is made for the Mac. I CAN TELL YOU I WILL NEVER USE ANOTHER PROGRAM. This company is constantly upgrading its program and features. The web based programs from Ebay work on the mac. But the rest of the stuff they sell with not work because it PC based. So if you love Blackthorne or other download programs sold. Just be aware that they will not work on your Mac. The exception to this is if you have the software to run window based products on your mac. Your choice please visit the apple web site to decide for your self before spending any money.
