My 27" was pretty close to $3,800 about a year ago.

Why? because the internal and external auditors sweep through during December and they don't want the IT staff around while they poke and prod everything. If you are a full time employee who has more than 2 weeks of vacation and you are taking more than three vacation days in a month it is HIGHLY recommended that you take a whole 2 weeks. This is so that they can uncover any issues!
This sounds a lot like a trading company. Many require that you take at least two consecutive weeks in order to see if you've been doing something that you shouldn't be...

and it's funny, but most (not all) people I run across who hate Macs just can't afford them. So they resort to Mac bashing. :smilelol5:

Hmmmmmm :headscratch

I think I'll keep the PC for 1/3 the price and not have to go through the transformation from Mac to PC.

Bye again! :leaving

Some folks accept change better than others. For those of you that hate Mac, stop using products that have done everything possible to copy the Mac platform. (Windows, Android, tablets)
Guess who MAC copied the mouse from? Windows. :smilelol5:
You're wrong. :tiphat:

MagicGlock, do you have any experience with any of the MS Office suite products on your Mac?
I use the Open Sourced LibreOffice. It'll do anything M$ can do, even better. It is highly customizable and is always free regardless of how much you add or upgrade.

Close. We are a bank and that is exactly why they do it.

Picked up a new 27" iMac this weekend with all the dials set to "11." Cuz, you know, that's what you need to run QuickBooks on the Mac "rlol"

Here's a pic of me trying to look surprised at how large the screen is, but instead I just look angry. Probably because I'm also trying to get my taxes done, sigh.

I named it "Cinnabon," because it's incredibly huge, sweet, and decadent :anamatedbanana

Postscript: I do my own website design and development, so this will work nicely for my old eyes. I also run WIndows 8 on a nice machine next to it (not shown, because this iMac is big enough to blot out the sun :smilelol5: )
