I just bought my wife an eMac (entry-level iMac, without the expensive
flat panel display) a week ago, and spent last Saturday setting it up,
making sure it could access my Samba server shares, and downloading
extra applications she needed. Although I had not used a Mac since OS
7.3, I found it to be just as easy to figure out as it was eight years
ago.
The GUI is beautiful. Up until now, I had only seen screenshots, and I
thought it was ok-looking. But now, I find myself getting envious seeing
her work on such a gorgeous desktop, while my Gnome desktop (with which
I had been quite happy) is looking rather bland.
For her, this has been a perfect purchase, to replace an aging and
unstable Win98SE box. For me, it was a good experience setting up Mac
networking and seeing how easy it was to integrate into my home LAN.
Plus, I have a new impetus to start experimenting with other desktops
and/or window managers :-)
