My data is secure and backed up, but it like looks like the mother board might be hosed. It's been acting up for a while, and the diagnostic I ran showed too many red lights to trust it with production going forward.<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">So, I'm looking at getting my first Mac. This was the third PC I've had go bad not long out of warranty, and I'm looking to make a switch. My wife's MacBook has been wonderful for her, so I'm just going to suck it up and pay the apple tax.<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">Right now I'm looking at an iMac 27 inch. Probably not a retina since it will shave some cost. I know to upgrade RAM myself. <br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">What should I do for storage? What's a fusion drive compared to a flash(I imagine that's Apple speak for SSD?).<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">Also, how reliable are FireWire to Lightening adapters? I'd rather not also have to upgrade my audio interface. <br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">What does the bar suggest? </pre><pre style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px; white-space: normal; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web Regular', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Helvetica Neue', 'BBAlpha Sans', 'S60 Sans', Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Tony</pre> </div></body>
