We just got our first real Mac--a 27" iMac.
Hubby wanted to have MS Office on it, regardless of anything. With the cost of the computer, Office didn't add that much to the cost.
So my questions are about security and virus. I have plenty of files from my PCs. If there's any viruses on my Dell laptops, would that transfer with my loading the files on the new iMac? I know the viruses are designed for PC, not Mac, but I want to make sure.
Are there any precautions I should take before doing, well, much of anything that's remotely confidential on the Mac?
I'm getting used to it already even though I've basically only been online and filing up the iTunes library with our 400+ cd's (almost halfway through that process).
