[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 193518, member: 15110"] 1. Nope. OS X doesn't come with a lot of bloatware. If you can, I do recommend buying a backup drive. You can then clone your internal drive to a backup file on the backup drive for restoring later. You can even clone your entire internal drive to an external drive and use that to boot from just in case your internal drive doesn't boot for whatever reason. Google "Carbon Copy Cloner" for more details. 2. It's basically automatic networking. For example, if you're running iTunes on another computer in your house and enable sharing, other machines running iTunes will automatically pick up the file share. Basically networking as it should be :) Read more here: [url]http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/[/url] With iTunes, it's a handy feature if you store all of your music on one computer and want to share it with another computer easily. 3. Yup. My wife is currently running iChat off her AIM account on her 20" iMac. 4. What model is your router? I'm using a Linksys WRT54GS and it's working just fine. I can walk you through configuration if you need assistance. Welcome to the club, you're going to love it here! :D [/QUOTE]
