[QUOTE="JazzTrpt, post: 6970"] Hey! Congrats on your getting your first Mac! You will love it even more than you do now the more you use it. I can only answer a few of your questions, but I hope that you find it helpful! Here is a link for about 17,000 software products you can use with your eMac: [url]http://guide.apple.com/ussoftware.lasso[/url] Next, you can use iTunes to burn music cds. It's really easy....just insert a cd-r or cd-rw, then select the playlist you want to put on your cd. Then click the burn button in the upper right hand corner of the iTunes window. Click it again to verify that you want to burn it. That's it! If you want to burn a data cd, you can use the Finder, which is the application in your dock with the smiley mac face. The Finder is where you open windows to search your hard drive and such. You insert the cd, drag whatever files you want to put on it, then go to the File menu and click "Burn Disc..." If you want another alternative, you can pick up Roxio's Toast. It's a great program, too. As far as right-clicking, you can buy a two button mouse which is compatible with OS X and that will do the same thing.... OR, you can just hold down the control key while clicking with the one button mouse and that will do the same thing. File-sharing programs....Acquisition In the iTunes Music Store, you can download an entire album by clicking on the "Buy Album" button near the price of the album. Some albums will say "By Song Only", so obviously, you can't buy the entire album there. iMacs have an adjustable 15" or 17" LCD display. The eMac has a 17" CRT display.
