WELCOME TO THE MAC WORLD!!!! here is a link where you can find info on free apps with links to get them! http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/free_snow_leopard_compatible...

also! i suggest you become familiar with a few websites that are related to macs! just so you stay up to date with events and things you can use with your mac!

I hope you enjoying your new computer!

PS: if you planning on running windows on your mac, use VMware! that's what i use! of course it also works with linux! the advantage! you can run all three OS's simultaneously! definitely worth buying!; ▶ Reply to This
