[QUOTE="PrimalYeti, post: 508639, member: 18315"] Wow, a lot of questions. I'm going to do the best I can. 1) MS Office 2008 for Mac is coming out in January, so you could wait for that. I believe I heard that the new version of iWorks will also let you export files to Word docs. I personally own MS Office 2004 for Mac, and will be getting 2008 when it comes out (Office is just the standard, why break away?) 2) iWeb is no where near as robust as Dreamweaver. I haven't taken the time to really sit down and play with it, but when I tried it...I felt restricted. Your best bet is to really get Dreamweaver for Mac. 3)1 word: Flip4Mac 4) Never used this Adobe package, sorry 5) Keynote is the same as PowerPoint, but different templates really. They do the same thing. Thing is, if you are going to get MS Office 2008 for Mac as mentioned in #1, you'll get PowerPoint. 6) Word for Mac does everything Word 2003 does on Windows. 7) Backup is the same no matter what OS you're using. In Windows you're backing up incase you get a virus, in OS X its really in case of hardware failure. For OS X Tiger I recommend Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner (free) for back ups. If you're going to be gett OS X Leopard, just use Time Machine (built-in). 8) I have a MacBook Pro, and then 2 Windows machines in the house and all I use is a D-Link. Try and get something with Draft-N though. All new Macs come with Draft N wifi cards, the speed is amazing! 8 (again?) ) What? 9) Probably not, lol 10) No one is as cool as Jackson Browne. 11) People will surely notice the sexy piece of technology you own. How thats everything, lol [/QUOTE]
