[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1568000, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Bigandbald[/B] - well, I've got 20 years on you and became reacquainted w/ Apple last spring in my retirement (purchased a new iMac & MBPro to replace my Windows computers - had been on PCs for 30+ years, although started out w/ an Apple II+ in 1980, a year before IBM released their first personal computer!). Although[B]Vansmith[/B] has already responded to you, I'll add a few comments from your post below: Keep in mind that there is [B]Java & Java Script[/B] - the latter is not a problem, but the former if not kept up to date can be an issue on your Mac - I don't have Java installed on my computers - take a look [URL="http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg/"]HERE[/URL] for a fuller explanation - if you do not need JAVA, then don't install it! You don't need [I]Adobe Reader[/I] - Preview opens PDF files well, so unless you need editing features then no reason to get the Adobe products! When I was an academic radiologist, I needed to use MS Office @ home, so thus my need to use PCs - when I retired, my wife & I transitioned over to Apple computers - if you do not need to use MS Office for your job, then why even consider having to use the suite on an Apple? If you do, then you will need an option that allows you to run Windows & MS Office on your Apple computer (e.g. Boot Camp or Parallels) - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
