Blossom'sGirl Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I tried to find out on the site but I still could not figure it out. DH is considering getting me a laptop and I mentioned a MAC but I don't want to get a computer that will not be compatible with the software and websites I use. I know I can put windows on a Mac but that kinda defeats the purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Hood Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I recently read that Netflix is planning on having software by the end of 2008 that will be compatible with Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blossom'sGirl Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 I still haven't justified a new Macbook in my mind but it would sure be nice to be able to use a computer wherever I wanted. Right now I am chained to a corner in our school room and it is very awkward if a bunch of us want to watch something. I am also tired of battling the kids for PC time. I would consider a PC but to be honest I don't want Vista and I am tired of playing around with windows updates. To be able to use it for watching Netflix would definitely be a check in the pro column. I would hope that setting up for wireless wouldn't slow down the picture time. Right now, the movies start as soon as we pick them. Thanks again for checking and let me know if their is something else I should consider.

nmoira Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I just bought a Roku Netflix Player, and it was worth every cent. Even when the Mac software is available, I'm not going to install it because I'd rather not have the computer tied up with movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
