OT and Tech question-Going over to the Darkside

I'm looking forward to playing with the system but per the local Apple
store, there's not a newsreader in the pre-loaded software. I've
ordered the Mac version of stuff like Office, and such but what would
the Roffian apple user recommend for newsgroups and stuff like photo
editing?

Thunderbird for an email and newgroup client. The Safari web browser
that comes with your iMac is good, but I use Firefox and I like it. Free
downloads at http://www.mozilla.org/.

BTW, you're not going over to the darkside. You're coming out of it into
the light. It's like giving a glass of ice water to a man in hell.

Couldn't agree more.
I'm a software developer/designer, so my criteria might be somewhat
different. But I doubt it. Windows is enormously annoying. Network
and
device timeouts and time-slicing don't even work (try to do something
else while your scanner gets going, for instance).

I like linux for a development platform; Mac for office and surfing
around.
Winblows is so bad it's hard to figure out how it ever succeeded.
Ah, oh. I forgot. It's the magic of the marketplace. :-)
