OK I did it! I bought a new IMac this weekend.
Got wireless working and Email working did a bunch of apple up dates.

this Mac if for my wife but I need to know how to use it.
But since I am the tech support I need to know how to run it too.

lots of question in the coming weeks.

1 Should I upgrade to Lion?

2 is it worth the 300 for the backup wireless 2 Terabyte drive?

3 since I bought it at best buy and I take a class at the apple store for beginers?
thanks for the reply Mark

1. Yes.

2. Probably not. I think the Time Capsule is groovy-cool myself, but it's pricey just for the advantage of being wireless (and slower than a wired backup as well).

3. I'm sure Apple doesn't care where you bought it.

2. Just get an external drive, connect it via USB and use it as TM. Only con is that you will have to manually connect to start the backup process. Much cheaper option...
