What to buy with the Mac?

Easy

Hrm. I never even thought of this. How does it work with hooking up an additional display? I have a fairly new Acer 19 inch LCD screen - would be nifty to have a second display hooked up - if I could figure it out.

this is wasy just plug the adapter in and OSX should detect the display and it usually guesses the right resolution

Is it really worth buying AppleCare with it? I am buying my first mac today (a 20'' imac) but can't decide whether i really want applecare or not. I'd rather spend the money on a new ipod

1. Check your Visa card. It may already provide free purchase insurance which adds a year to your manufacturer's warranty. Granted you'll probably have to wait 6 weeks for your claim to be processed, but the idea with warranty is you'll probably not need to use it...

2. Check your local independent retailers for better deals on AppleCare. Mine will give you 50% the cost of AppleCare back in store-credit if you don't use it in the 2 year extension period.
