why, what would you use?
IdreamX, telnet & ftp is all you need, isn't it?

[Mr. Mister]

Yeah.. I suppose thats true..

I guess its all in what your used to..

Too much cash to spalsh out on a mac.. and them maybe not even like it..

[judge]

yeah, pricey kit, but worth it if you can afford it.
never met anyone who went back to windows after going mac.
saying that, i'm a linux user & for some strange reason, there are no linux tools for an enigma box...
so dreamboxedit through wine is what I use, ftp & telnet not an issue.

[punisher]

Yeh idreamx does it all and you also have telnet. You can still do streaming aswell and it looks great :-p i love ma dell laptop too but i wouldnt be going back to it. I gave it to the mrs lol but now she wants a mac too after using mine lol

I would never have a MAC over windows7 I would rather use linux than MAC OS. now its not that I am Apple hater, I love the Ipad, but the mac os is nothing compared to windows7.

I own a Mac mini that hooks up to 32" LED TV. I'm running Windows 7 together with OsX via VMWare Fusion with full inter OS file support and even drag and drop between OsX <> Win7.

I have always used Mac and did own a PC for a long time just to do stuff that would only be possible on a PC. But now there no need for a second computer.
And yeah, I could run Linux next to Win7 and OsX if I wanted to.

My experience is that compared to a PC a Mac requires much less maintenance and is usually less prone to software issues. I prefer maintaining a Mac over a PC because I feel more 'at home' with a Mac than with a PC. And that's all there is to it, you should run the computer you're happy with. Try to test drive a Mac and then make up your mind.

Personally I would never go back to Windows PC. Love my iMac, you realise what a pile of poo a windows pc is when you go apple. I've never looked back, really is a truly amazing piece of kit/software. Love it!!
