Apple vs Windows

[big-daddy]

Its been almost a week now with my new apple computer. I miss a few thing from my old computer, for one the right button on my mouse. but I have to say the Apple is a faster and easier computer. The down side is hardware and software,
most all the hardware as to be for a Mac and very little software for the Mac. So another change for me will be learning Final Cut 4 vs Photoshop that I was using for years. Anybody else have a Apple? I have a iMac 2.8ghz Intel core 2 extreme processor,4GB of 667 MHz DDR2 memory and 1TB harddrive.

Oh yeah.....best part of the mac is the 24" screen

My Dad has a Gateway that he got a steal of a deal on and it has a 22 inch HDTV screen, but that Vista ruins the whole package.

Congrats on the computer!   But a couple things, first off your mighty mouse actually is configurable to except multiple clicking inputs.  You can set up a right click to act like a control-click in the control panel.  There isn't much new hardware they make, (attest hardware worth buying anyway,) that wont work with it.  You just need to read a couple review before major peripheral purchases to make sure the company makes decent drivers, if needed.  As far as the software thing, Final Cut is for video, Photoshop for pictures.  Final cut is mac only, and very expensive, and photoshop is made for both OS X and windows XP.

Did you get the 24" iMac?  Thats the top of the line machine isn't it?  Enjoy!

as logandzwon stated you can set your mouse to multi click in the control panel. you can also hold down the "control" and "option" keys on the keyboard and then click on the mouse or thumbpad and the action will be like right clicking. I am actually a video editing and graphic systems engineer. If you like and are used to Photoshop for pictures you can get it for Mac. if you have a lot of Windows software you may want to consider BootCamp or Parallels Desktop and load Windows on your Mac to run your Windows softare. I set them up all the time and I personally use it on my 17" MacBook Pro. If you have  never seen windows running on a Mac you will be blown away. LOL trust me I am not bias, I am Mac and Windows certified and set them both up all day long.
