[QUOTE="chronogoof89, post: 42536"] 1. .sit and .zip are native to Macs. OS X will decompress them without any additional software. 2. I don't know really how to tell. Maybe look online at the games' website. Chances are MOST of your games are PC only. If they don't mention MAC they probably won't work. 3. Yeah it should be the same. I'm not sure about iBooks, but it may have S-Video out too, which is probably better quality if you TV has S input. 4. There has been basically one or two very minor worm-type security threats for Macs that I think were designed just to prove a point - but even so they were not really harmful, dangerous, or wide-spread. I think a virus protection program is a good idea *just in case*. I use McAffe. I also use it because it can actually help protect my windows friends in the event that I somehow manage to forward a windows virus-infected e-mail to them. The bug wouldn't affect me, but without a virus program I wouldn't know if the e-mail was dangerous (besides common sense). That's all. You are right, Macs really AREN'T susceptible to virii.
