[QUOTE="Mojo027, post: 20888, member: 3145"] I have been thinking about getting a macintosh laptop. It won't be for at least a year, but I may get one before I go off to university, I graduate Spring 2005. Anyways, I decided to join this forum to learn a bit about macs before I buy one. I am fine with everything about macs so far, I like the operating system, I like the company (I guess you can't get much worse than Microsoft though), they are pretty fast but theyre don't have many games. I can live with all that. But I would like to know if these programs can be found on a mac, or programs much like them. Also if I have to purchase them, are they freeware, or do they come free on OSX (I understand OSX comes with a few programs). Here's my list of must have programs, or ones like them: WinRAR DivX PowerDVD Microsoft Office Adobe Photoshop 7 Macromedia MX Studio Nero Burning ROM LeapFTP Sisoft Sandra The All Seeing Eye Trillian Winamp 2.8 MSN 6.1 ICQ AIM Kazaa Lite Warcraft 3 Medal of Honor Allied Assault Norton AV 2003 Halo Starcraft and BW AdAware 6 Fujifilm USB Sony NetMD Sonicstage Also I would like to know, when you buy an Ibook or Powerbook do you get an OSX cd? Is it possibly to reformat that hard drives on a mac and reinstall an OS like on PC? If so, how do you do it? These should start off my thread well, I'll ask more questions when they arise. [/QUOTE]
