[QUOTE="Carol247, post: 342968, member: 23973"] Welcome Callen 727! I'll try to help with some of your questions: 1. There are several word processing apps that are very good. I don't know of a standard one, you'd have to buy what fits your needs best. I personally use iwork (and love it) but if you need MS office, you'll need to buy it for Mac. And yes, you can e-mail anything that you create on your Mac to a PC. 2. When you buy a Mac it should come with a free trial. I used my trial then decided I didn't need it. If you're going to need a web page or sync your mail between computers and other things it offers then it would be worth it. For me it wasn't but everyone does different things with their computers. 3. You don't need any virus protection on your Mac but you might get some answers from others here that might recommend some free ones. Mac doesn't get viruses though so you wouldn't want to waste your $'s on buying one. Hope this helps. Come back often and good luck with your new Mac purchase. [/QUOTE]
