I'm not sure if there is a version of emule exactly, but I do know there are mac programs that use the same P2P network (eDonkey).

I use something called Bittorrents for my games, but Soulseek does have a lot of software.

You need to be careful with Limewire. It's notorious as a breeding ground for spyware.

All P2P services can breed spyware and viruses. You have to be carefull with any program you download.

Yeah, I just convinced another of my clients to dump their Windows PC and get an iMac (my 2nd this year).

I don't like the name, but they do seem like an excellent replacement for the Powerbooks

what sucks is that they've come out with 2 replacements for the iMac since I bought mine :irked:

what's good for the general public that needs to upgrade is that these new Intel Duo Pro make an already blazing fast computer (supposedly) twice as fast

I guess there's no longer any such thing as a "G" anything ?

It's not actually twice as fast unless you are really taxing your computer using some program that recognizes 2 processors. The Intel iMac is about 25% faster most of the time (on Intel-native programs), though the raw power is there to be much faster.

But that's compared to the G5. Compared to the G4's in a powerbook, I'm sure the speed of a macbook will be significantly improved, even for normal users.
