Something I've noticed since making the Big Switch.

[reprobate]

I don't know about the rest of you, but since the switch from PCs to Macs, I've noticed that I'm just not buying as much stuff for my computers as I was for the PCs.

In fact the only things I've bought for the Macs is a set of HK Sound Stick 2s and a multiswitch to switch between the itune output of the iMac and the XM radio output, to use the Soundsticks with both. Oh, yes. And I did by a seven output USB hub for the peripherals.

I don't understand whether it's just that the Macs are so complete as they are that I just can't think of anything they really need.

Has anyone else had the same experience since switching?

Amd if not, what would or did you add to your Macs to make them seem more complete?

1. I needed a trackball because of my Arthritis. Got a Kensington

Expert Mouse Pro. Best $100. I've ever spent. Bought a Wacom graphics pad, and an external FireWire drive for backups. Jazzed up some Cambridge SoundWorks speakers with some caseless Bose speakers. I built cases for them. My sound system is ass kicking.


The Trackball was the only basic hardware enhancement. The keyboard is terrific in my opinion.

I added an additional USB card.




For software I go open source.
