[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 1032508, member: 96273"] I wouldn't recommend putting it on a USB external, even though the new macs are now USB bootable. If you do decide to do that, make sure at least that it is a firewire external drive, so you get somewhat decent performance. Music is great, I've been using iTunes since it came out for OS 9 back in 2001, I realized its greatness (even over MacAmp, which was cool and skinnable) immediately. Great auto-organize feature, if you're not so ridiculously anal about your music collection that you need to rename the folders to some other obscure file structure than separated by artist and album. Always made the most sense to me. iPhoto is cool. I started organizing my stuff in it yesterday. It was just one of those things I hadn't gotten around to doing on this computer. It's been about a year since I bought it now and I'm finally getting to it haha. It's been a long moving in process. :) How's the gaming working out for ya? I play a little world of warcraft on the 9400m in my MacBook. It's a decent chipset, excellent as far as integrated graphics go. iWork is great, but try out OpenOffice and see what you think. It's a little clunky, but it lets you save to most major file formats usually without much formatting error. If you do internet chatting at all with your friends, I'd check out adium immediately. The [b]best[/b] OS X chat client, single program and buddy list for all your accounts, highly skinnable. Most excellent. [/QUOTE]
