[QUOTE="HBlaine, post: 995833, member: 143274"] Greetings all! I can't really say I'm new switcher... But I am in the process of getting my first Mac. I've got a used/refurbished Aluminum G4 Powerbook on it's way. Should be here next week sometime. (And I'm going to be on the road, and won't get it till next weekend... :( ) I've been a DOS/Windows user since day one, and I still use Win7 for all my work stuff. But I wanted to separate the work stuff from the personal in more ways than just simply setting up a couple different folders. So, with a little extra money in pocket, I decided to take a big leap... I've always wanted to play with a Mac, so now's my chance. I'm not ditching my old computers, but... I went with a used model because I was just looking for a beater that could sort of act as the "other notepad" for me to just do personal/creative writing/editing, check email and whatnot. I don't need the latest/greatest. And the Powerbook looked like it fit the bill, and would be a good way to get my feet wet. I'm looking to download NeoOffice when I get the system. Maybe some other utilities. I'm not really sure what all I'll need, so I'll probably be making lots of trips here to the Forum. I have to say, I've learned a lot here just lurking and reading. I'm really glad I found this site, and look forward to learning all I can. [/QUOTE]
