One for the clever people....

I have a Linksys wireless router with a PC laptop using it. Can I just buy an iMac and they will both work or do I need this Apple Airport wireless?

Spugsy or anyone else any thoughts?
Many thanks.

You will be fine - wireless uses the same standards so Macs and Windows will work.

Many thanks.
the thing as I said about macs is they are dead easy, all the latest macs have wireless, so you switch it on, go to network and it'll search for wireless networks, it'll find yours and link straight away, dead easy.

Mint! I'm all over something that is easy.

While I have your attention, will I be able to copy over my pictures, iTunes music over that I have backed up on an external hard drive? ie. plug the hard drive in and copy across?
Cheers

yeah for sure, just go to yout itunes and go 'add' and it should bring everything in, but use iphoto for your digital pics, its pretty great as well, you can use ot to store, catalgue, burn to DVD and even make DVD's with rolling pics and music and that.

Just looked on the UK apple store, 24-inch: 3.06GHz, 500GB HDD, 2GB RAM - £1,359 incl. VAT. At the current exchange rate - thats around 7500 AED not including any VAT refund (if you buy it at the right place in the UK).

Just done some price comparisons for Ipod Nanos for the missus- its about 20-30% cheaper in the UK than UAE at the moment.
