i am starting to really like the mac i gotta say.

my next related question.
what would people recommend for torrent software for the mac, i could use a windows prog through parallels but i want to make it as simple as possible for me and not use the windows online if i can help it.

Level42:
You like it now, but you'll learn to love it later ;)

Of course there's a good Mac torrent client. I use Transmission. Works fine.

If you only need to access data on an NTFS partition then you can do that with a Linux live CD.

i reckon that'd be beyond me, my head would likely explode  ;D. i think im down to just needing to find my old mobile no's from a sync programme from it now so i may just give up as it seems tricky. cheers though.

Lev, i've gone for transmission  i'm looking at an IM now , i only use msn so i'm thinking of just using the microsoft one, as a long time microsoft hater can you push me toward something else? ;)

Level42:
Eh, I admit using Microsoft's MSN too. Regretfully, it's _the_ chat application that everybody uses in Holland .

I also have MS Office 2008 for compatibility. I prefer to use the Mac apps like Numbers,Pages and especially Keynote but I've got office as a fail-safe backup. I must say that the Mac version of Office is much more friendly for old-time Office users than the Windows (2007) version. All the menu's are the same old trusty structure, so you're not looking for ages everywhere to see where they hid all the options.
