[QUOTE="yogi, post: 426834, member: 8542"] Hi howdet50, welcome to the forums. Let's look at your decision to switch. 1. Macs run Firefox and plugins. 2. The limitation in games on the mac is as follows: Games on a Mac need to be a dedicated Mac version, and there are quite a lot out there, you can see a fairly complete list [URL="http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?s=topSellers&n=action_games&nnmm=browse&node=home%2Fmac_accessories%2Fsoftware"][B]here[/B][/URL]. Also, be aware that you can run Windows on a Mac using [URL="http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/"][B]Boot Camp[/B][/URL], which is Beta software now but will be an integral part of Leopard. You can then use all your Windows games just as you're used to. 3. As for Download managers, I'm not completely sure what you're looking for, but S[URL="http://www.yazsoft.com/"][B]peed Download 4[/B][/URL] comes to my mind. Otherwise, Firefox and Safari both have standard download "managers". [/QUOTE]
