[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1061996, member: 89124"] Hi! Welcome to the forums. I can't answer all of your questions but... So you know - your comp is a Macbook Pro - not a Mac Pro - there's a big difference - the MBP is (as you know ;) ) a laptop using C2D, Ci5 or Ci7 processors, where as the Mac Pro is a workstation class tower using xeon based processors with the multiple expansion slots, ability to support multiple GPU cards, more RAM, etc. :) For #1 - go to Preferences, Network, Advanced, WINS - fill in the workgroup For #2 - Check this site: [url=http://kb.iu.edu/data/aprq.html]In Mac OS X, how do I uninstall Microsoft Office? - Knowledge Base[/url] it has where to find the file to uninstall. For #3 I can't answer, I don't use a timecapsule, I just use a USB drive for my time machine. For #4 - AFAIK there is not direct comparison product - from what I understand, OSX doesn't support that sort of a feature at this point (restore points) - but you can create bootable backups of your system using a tool like CCC and just create a new image before you install something risky.
