[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 42535, member: 273"] 1. Yes, Panther will have no trouble opening either format using StuffIt, which should come already installed on your iBook. 2. I'd assume that if Mac support isn't mentioned, then it probably isn't going to work. I've never actually tried putting a Mac disk into a Windows machine to see what it looks like, so I can't really tell you what to look for on the disks. However, I think a good option is probably the one that you said "isn't", which would be to try them once your iBook arrives. :) 3. It should be the same. You'll just need to use the display adapter included with your iBook. 4. I think the main concern with Mac virus protection is to protect Windows-based computers that you may be exchanging files with. Even though your machine will be unaffected by the viruses, there is still the chance of spreading them to a PC, where they could cause the usual problems. In all honesty, other than the Windows concern, Mac virus protection is virtually unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
