I only wish it were easier to network a mac with my windows based network printers. Bon Jour no work for moi. It's groovy to be able to work on the office website while working on an open office document and watching a movie all on the same screen. I had a hard time operating the mac laptops. The imac requires two hands to navigate and the mac laptops seem to require three thumbs.
You no doubt have heard that Macs can run windows now. My sons Macbook does it via VM ware fusion. He uses a special software for his Dislexia which only runs on windows XP ... It networks just fine and can use the wireless printer we have at home both from XP and the OSX operating system. My wife and daughter use PC's and they live happily together with our 3 Macs on a Mixed network.
It doesn't take long to network ... If I can do anyone can.
PS. sorry about your Thumbs
