I guess i am almost an offical convert to mac.
Ok so i gave in and decided to buy a brand new imac 17" 1ghz, 740(?) RAM along with a shiney new 10gig ipod. One of the biggest deciding factors to me was simply posting on this board, getting my questions answered so quickly and helpfully by mac users. It says something to me about the community, if thats what you want to call it. That i can actually just ask other people and get useful help, instead of sifting through 100 pages of complete trash in google to find something worth reading.
it should be here in a couple days and i know i will need to get started on finding the right freeware/shareware apps i will want. Im willing to spend a little if i have to, but more looking for downloads than buying expensive CD's at the moment. As im new to the mac world, and you guys obviously know what your talking about i could use some help and advice on what to look for.
-p2p software
-chat: IRC, aim, icq, msn (preferably all in one program i have buddies on all of them)
-free games? stuff worth playing. like SNES emulation and stuff.
-various helpful net/working tools
-browser? if there is one better than ie for mac
-anything else you can think of that i might want
links would be nice, thanks =)
