[QUOTE="James, post: 68457, member: 7582"] Sounds like a nice little system to get you through school. I think you will like it a lot once you get to using it...OS X is very nice and easy to use, if you have used windows 98/me/2k/xp you will have no problems using OS X at all. In fact you will even find it easier to use once you use it a little. Instead of Winamp check out iTunes, very nice for cataloging your music and for converting it and playing it and burning it to cds. Instead of Nero, check out Mac Burn, remindes me a lot of Nero, burns both cds and dvds, makes isos, easy to use, costs only $30. For your chats look at Fire, it's kind of like Trillian, does many formats. As far as virus and such you really don't need em unless you plan on being hooked to a bunch of ibm types, but there are some if you want them. For your word processing give NeoOffice a try, an OS X version of Open Office which will give you compatability with Ms Word and Excel, etc. For graphics, The Gimp has a mac version that works very well, the list goes on and on. Welcome to Mac world, I am sure you will like it, and good luck at college, your gona need it....(G), but it's worth it in the long run... [/QUOTE]
