[QUOTE="muso, post: 11318, member: 40"] Good on you. I can answer a few of your questions, but will have to leave some for others. 1. You will need new, mac, copies, although I don't know if you'll have to buy them or if you could just write to the companies asking them to provide you with a new copy. Any other switchers out there who have had this 'problem'? 2. Yes, there are a few. Although you wouldn't dream of pirating anything would you? 4. OSX is about as stable as you get. I've had an iBook for three months, and the OS has frozen once in that time, due to a corrupt application. Nothing was damaged. Applications will occasionally freeze up but it very, very rarely affects anything else you're doing. 5. I get about 4 hours on my iBook with the screen brightness set on about half. You can expect a bit less than that, but you should have no problem getting three hours out of it. 6. Yes, any USB mouse is compatible. 7. I know people still using original TiBooks without any problems. They also have a much higher resale value than their PC counterparts. 8. Yep, just make sure it's the right type first. There are heaps of ads around mac sites for RAM. 9. As long as its 802.11b or g you'll be fine. [/QUOTE]
