[QUOTE="todd51, post: 531955"] Hey Kiwi, glad your interested exploring the world of OSX. The learning curve definitely isn't that hard at all. IF you do get confused we're always here to help and there are a TON of books and online tutorials on Apple's website on how to learn the OS. As many of the other's have mentioned, there are many programs that will work for you to take care of all your daily tasks. Of course you can get Microsoft Office on the Mac, and sounds like your going to move towards Photoshop. Dreamweaver is also available if you can get the serial transferred easily. If not I hear that a program called Rapidweaver is pretty good. It costs money also but I don't think it's as expensive as Dreamweaver. Here are some other equivalents for the software you mentioned: Cute FTP - [B]Try using Fugu or CypberDuck FTP. Dreamweaver also has it's own built-in FTP client.[/B] WinRAR - [B]Stuffit[/B] Trillian with MSN, AIM messengers - [B]AdiumX is like Trillian, it can connect to Yahoo, AIM, and MSN[/B] As far as web browsers go, I'm sure you'll be happy with Safari once you get used to it. If not, there is also Firefox or Camino. Have fun with the new Mac if you decide to take the plunge!! :) [/QUOTE]
