[QUOTE="iPod Nano, post: 850143, member: 101250"] Hello, there! I'm not sure if you need both a Mac and a Windows Machine. I would run Windows in Bootcamp or Parallels. If you will be downloading stuff to your Windows installation, yes, get a virus scanner [I]in Windows[/I]. But, you don't need one for your mac. There's not much to protect them from. I would recommend the following: - Microsoft Office ($$$), iWork ($$), or OpenOffice (Free). All of these are fairly compatible and work similarly. Personally, I like iWork the best, but it's your choice. - A good mail client. Most are free. I recommend Postbox (postbox-inc.com) I hope this helps. Post or PM me if you have any questions.
