[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 783960, member: 8287"] All your other questions were answered but I will comment on 2 of them. One thing that has been recommended here many times on Mac Forums to new OSX users, forget everything you know about Windows. It makes learning OSX easier if you not try to approach it like it's Windows. It was VERY easy for me to pick up, but then again I had used the older Mac OS 7-9 in the past. iWork is far from useless, but if you want better compatibility with Microsoft Office then I would suggest the latest Open Office as it's free and very compatible. We all used to recommend NeoOffice until the latest OpenOffice came out which is now native to OSX and no longer needs X11 to run. It's very fast, on my systems much faster than NeoOffice is and fits right in with OSX. [/QUOTE]
