My first Mac ever!

Hello Mac community!
I just bought a my first Mac ever, a G4 Powerbook 667.
Lovin it! =) Question is... what are some other really good mac communities online??? and where is a good site of freeware software that i can go to for some good programs?

btw i am a freelance webdesigner and graphics artist, maybe that will help anyone decide where to guide me to.

I'm also wondering what program can I use to chat on AIM, MSN, Yahoo in one program? in PC world I use Trillian... Well please bare with me while I ask some really noob questions =)

Other mac communities? We are the only one that I know of.

Here is a very useful thread full of apps that you might want to look into:

Welcome to the boards j5ive!

Thank you guys =)

Yea, regarding the communities this is really the best I've found. I've founda couple others but they are LOADED with fan bois and elitists. Not friendly at all, this is probably the friendliest board I've encountered so far.

ic.. yea i hate it when veteran users just down play new users... not very welcoming...
