Too Mac or not to Mac

Oct 4, 2009

I need some help. I am looking at purchasing a used IMac 2.1GHz G5 Processor. 1.5GB RAM, 250GB Hard Drive (20 inch monitor), Super Drive All original software. We have used Windows forever. Shoud I go for this or keep saving for a Macbook Pro. I currently have a 5DMII, 5D, & 30D. If you think it is a go... What Software is a good fit whithout breaking the bank.... Thanx for the help. Jak
BTW I can get this for under $500.00
