I'm happy to help you.

I got my MacBook last December for Christmas and I have been in love with it ever since. Prior to that, I'd always used PCs.

Okay, I get excellent gameplay with the MacBook. The processor is very fast (Intel) and the graphics are terrific. The MacBook Pro offers some more power, but the MacBook holds its own. Either way, you're gonna love being on a Mac!

If you're planning on doing video and music editing, then the MacBook Pro would be the one you should buy. Most of those advanced music, video and design programs are already built in.

Safari (Mac's version of Internet Explorer) is safe and secure. Be sure to download the Mac version of Firefox, as you will find from time to time some people who still are not aware that the Mac share of the market is growing and that people will be visiting their Web sites on a Mac. So you can always use Firefox as a back up in your Web surfing.

Also, for video games, visit your local Mac store for a TON of games for Mac. I'm enjoying The Sims 2. I had the same game for PC, and it just would not play well in the PC version, mainly because the game's graphics are so intricate.

You're gonna love your Mac. When I got mine, I couldn't believe I wasted my time on PC for so long (about 15 years!). No crashes, no freezes, no problems.

I'd leave instructions that I am to be buried with it -- if I weren't going to be cremated.

Enjoy!!
