Wotcher, Sorry for the lack of hate here, but having read various rants about Macs, I'm hoping for some advise on how to minimise future hate. After losing last weekend to reinstalling, twice, Windows on my wife's machine, today she agreed to go into the local Apple center and try out MacOS on a Mac mini. Very friendly chap helped us and we succeeded! I have a forthcoming move, but after that we will be buying a Mac. Can anyone make recommendations on software for me, probably off-list, or pointers to useful sites? And perhaps a book recommendation or two? I'll want stuff for the *nix sysadmin wanting to get some use out of the machine and even stand a chance of fixing some problems and Kathy will want things like a MUD client (or plain telnet, anything better than Windows telnet; it's for a talker, and she can use tinyfugue if it builds and works (has done in the past)), IM client that can handle MSN, simple image manipulation for family pics and basic word processing. Pointers appreciated. Heck, even heavy sarcasm appreciated, I'm that happy that I'm not likely to need to reinstall Windows ever again. Please, @DEITY, make it so! -- VISTA: Viruses, Infections, Spyware, Trojans & Adware
