I don't need any crazy art programs. I plan to use this to mostly go online, watch movies and write. At the moment anyway.

What do you think.

u can use open office and the google document extension for it. makes it easy to sync documents with google documents so u can accress them from other machines if u need to.

configured all my security settings in ten minutes.

don't use Safari, it's a piece of shit, go download Firefox.

if you use subscribe to feeds, use Google Reader.

I'm actually looking at Open Office right now and I think I just took an L by buying Microsoft Office when I got my MacBook. :\

I did that because I have a friend who works for apple and was able to get me 25% off of the retail price. So I could care less about the new upgrades. 25% OFF B!

none of those updates for the macbook will trump getting it for 25% off. Which is something I couldn't do past Dec. 31st 2007. I'm checking it in the win box.

I love to play emulators and now that I have a up to date machine would like to get my NBA JAM on. All I see are these damn flight simulator joysticks. Help me people.

Side question, if / when I install XP can I then use my PC controllers?

if so, get on ebay and buy a USB converter for around $5. Then pay another $5 for USB overdrive software, or the Xbox HID control panel if it's an xbox controller.
