[QUOTE="ghenrytaylor, post: 19033"] OK, I delved into Mac tepidly, I've purchased a used iBook on ebay, 700, 384, G3. Want to test drive this thing (arrives tomorrow) and see if it works for me. If so, a new G4 iBook next Christmas. I've read all the forums for the past week and answered a lot of the questions I have. There are a few that weren't and I would appreciate your help. 1- Are there any compatible apps from a windoz machine that work on Macs. 2- Firewall protection, I use ZoneAlarm, do I need a Mac version or some other app. 3- Learning curve for a "switcher". 4- What browsers (use Opera and Firebird on windoz). 5- What about flash and other plug-ins. 6- Is there a Mac equivilent of the windoz update, and if so, how is it accomplished. 7- Do Macs have floppy and/or PCMCIA slots. 8- Why a dual boot OS (9 and X). These are to get me started, Hope they don't irratate you too bad. Thanks in advance, Henry Taylor [/QUOTE]
