Hello, everyone! This is an awesome forum -- it has already helped me so much just as a lurker. I am a longtime PC user (former snob about macs) -- just purchased the 20" iMac. I felt like I knew more than the average bear about PCs, but now I feel like I am starting over again!
So far I am having a great time with it, but have found a couple issues that I know have been addressed here quite a bit... first, to anti-virus or not to anti-virus? I know there is a lot of disagreement on this issue -- it does feel weird not to have any protection. I'm still not sure, after reading all the opinions here, what to do.
Also, the lack of good personal finance software. I really liked Microsoft Money -- Quicken looks similar, but the version for Macs received dismal consumer reviews, and I don't know if I want to invest in the $70 to try it out. Which leads to another issue... is Mac software always so much more expensive/hard to find?
Thanks for your time! This forum is a wonderful resource for Mac newbies.
