Joachim & Markus, thanks a lot for the tips guys... It's really appreciated...
Color Management: Joachim I meant the standart tool delivered within the OS-Xsystem. Can it be also used for the printer calibration? I mean, I don't do a serious printing but color's better match on the print paper <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />...
Time Machine: It's good to hear that it works with other storage devices. Markus, wireless back-up strategy is not a must for me, actually it's a "nice to have". I'm rather interested on auto-backup (background) and the preassumed user friendliness. Right now I use firewire equipped 1TB external disk on PC. It is fast, and does the job. I don't use a special back-up utility, because I thought that simple should be the key word here. I made up a systematic for folder and file names, so that I could find what I want whenever I needed. But after our baby was born, JPEGs' importance was increased, which my folder systemeatic was not ready for <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />... So I suppose I can use Time Machine with an external firewire equipped HD... And I gues the application neat and robust...
Compatibility: As I've said, I don't have a Mac experience, except for the iPad my wife gave me as a gift (don't tell her that I think that it is useless <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />)... I can't view the movie files or JPEGs of my own on this damn device. There's no SD card slot, and the very handsome / sleek adapter is ~45€ (at least here, in Istanbul)!!!... Or I have to use the Apple special application to get mp3 data from PC to iPad... That was really frustrating. I know that the iMacs or MacBooks are not the same. But if the philosophy is the same, them I'm afraid we might have a problem here. I already pat for the device itself, I'm not ok with the idea that I have to pay more to the same brand to use the device more efficiently.
About the new Macs... I understand not only the iMacs but also for the MacBooks and update is expected for this summer. Do you guys think that this update is a major one and worth waiting or is it still wise to grab one now and use it?
Finally, windows emulation. It's really good that BootCamp can organize two partitions and Windows 7 can be installed to one of them. And I suppose I works better than the virtual machine alternatives...
Thanks again for the valuable inputs...
Regards,
Serkan
