[QUOTE="yogi, post: 364950, member: 8542"] 1) You can ask questions right here, also see [url]www.macosxhints.com[/url] , and macworld magazine as well as [url]www.macworld.com[/url] are great resources. 2) Boot Camp isn't very hard to install, though some people prefer to use Parallels instead, which lets you run Windows and OSX side by side without having to reboot. 3) Virtually any piece of hardware (such as cameras, printers...) will work with your Mac, I have had great experiences with Canon products all over, and it's a great choice for your photo editing. Networks work as long as your router or modem uses standard 802.11 technologies, which it probably will. Macs don't usually give (and have never given me) hardware problems. In most cases, there's no driver installation involved, either. 4) Some of the software you mention have Mac versions. You can't use the same CD, though, unless it says it's for Mac. Dreamweaver has a Mac version, you'll have to repurchase it, though. I googled CDisplay, and found the Mac alternative to be [URL="http://comical.sourceforge.net/"]Comical[/URL]. Winamp will be replaced by iTunes, which already ships, and iPhoto is much better than Picasa. If you use Picasa Web Albums, there's a plugin that will let you upload pictures from within iPhoto. Just go to the Picasa Web Albums Home Page when you have your Mac (google detects your Mac and gives you the right plugin automatically). Hope that helps, keep asking. [/QUOTE]
