[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 820458, member: 24098"] I would recommend finding an Apple Store near you and setting up a "personal shopper" appointment. They will spend time with you going through the different Mac models and answering any questions you might have. It's free and there's no obligation - it's well worth the time in my opinion - especially if you've never used one before. As to your question about Word - there are a number of programs that you can use to both read and create Microsoft Office documents. The one that I use is called OpenOffice.org and can be downloaded free of charge. It behaves much like Word and is compatible with MS Office. Additionally, you can try Apple's own iWork suite which is also compatible. And worst case scenario, you can always purchase Microsoft Office for Mac (there should be a free trial on your new Mac) - although I would save your money and give OpenOffice a try first. [/QUOTE]
