points, amounts to the same thing though, you'd be shopping for free for a few weeks.

Off Topic: Don't agree with those clubcards myself, prefer my privacy. Had a big argument with check out woman 1 day, when i said "no, i didn't want one & would rather pay for my privacy", she called me a fool. No way I'm letting Tesco sell my name, address & weekly shoping list to a marketing company. What do ya get anyways, vouchers for things ya never buy, quid or two off every month.........NO THANK YOU

The computers are around 600. 30% of that is nearly 200 to spend on anything you like instore. Good specs on the pc's too.

Actually it's a bit better than that. Every 2 months or so we'll get vouchers for roughly 50 quid off the shopping, no matter what you buy. Well worth it in my opinion. And I have never been contacted by any companies since having it.

Hi
We recently lost our computer, printer and all in a fire and though it was used for family use, its also for business.
It is being recommended that we buy a MAC - can anybody advise if this is worth it - are they really better to protect from viruses etc. I'm not too up to date even though my teenagers would be. would really APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE. THANKS!!

Sorry to hear about your house. It's worth trying it to see. There will be some learning curve but I'm sure you'll handle it, especially with young ones around.

There is malicious software for Macs but they are less prone to attack. Some pin this to better design of the system overall while others claim it's because the Mac user base is so small in comparison to that of Windows that it's not worth the time in exploiting Macs.

Anyway, the best thing you could do is to see one in action. Visit a 3G store and get a good demo. An iMac might be a good starter -- compact and doesn't completely break the bank.

Considering it would also be for business use, you'll probably need to buy a copy of Office for Mac also to allow you to work with Word, Excel, etc. There are (free) alternatives, such as NeoOffice, but I don't think it's something you want to gamble with on a new platform, especially in business.

first sorry about you house man - and mac are good for music and videos and have a good name but not to good for business and hard to get serviced.

back to the main topic, the ACER desktop and laptop in tesco are great specs but remember if anything goes wrong they have no service center, should buy local where there is a tech in store.

happy christmas all - sean hogan
