Right, Flip4Mac.

Another one worth having for those files that don't open with anything is MPlayer.

Macs rule.

quit diss'n on the mac's, it depends on what you use each for, pc's have far more customizability but you dont that with a mac, they come ready and top of the line.

actually mac software is pretty powerful, you just have to have the time and paitence to learn how to use it.

if you have a mac and dont like all the mac programs you could always download a dual boot system which lets you choose which OS you want to run at start up.

cool thanks so much ill definitely keep that in mind when I need to open those files. I'm so happy with my Mac so far. I got hooked when I used them in my digital classes at school. When my PC took a crap, i had to get a Mac. dont think i'll ever look back.

Being new, theres pretty much nothing to do on it but surf the internet. I'm on break from school so i'm not using it for essays or anything. I sort of feel like its going to waste.

sike



is it true there are only a few viruses out for macs? Or is that a load of BS? PC's have thousands of different viruses floating the internet, so ive heard.

Mac software isn't Crappy by any means. I used Mac's in College for graphic design and found it much easier to use then Windows. I can't stand using windows anymore. As soon as I get the money I'm switching over.
