[QUOTE="mac57, post: 352761, member: 17052"] aj84, to answer your questions more or less in order: 1/ No need to do any partitioning. Your Mac is just fine as it arrives. I have never done any thing like to my Mac. 2/ No antivirus is needed unless you are really cautious and want to prove to yourself that no virus protection is needed. 3/ Generally, I would recommend that you pick up OnyX, a free system maintenance app and run all of its cache and log clean up routines about once a week. This will keep your Mac running like a charm. For other apps of interest, see the Critical Apps section of my Linux to Mac Switchers Guide. Even though it is in a Linux oriented guide, the Critical Apps section applies to everyone. You can find my guide at: [url]http://www.campbell-tx.net/MacOSX/Linux2Mac/linux2mac.html[/url] Enjoy your Mac!!! [/QUOTE]
