My last post, I asked questions on what kind of computer would be best for me and I said I didn't want a Mac. Well, now I'm leaning more towards it. So I have a few questions for you Mac users.
Viruses; I know Macs don't get many viruses because most of them are made for Windows etc. Do they still need a Virus protection program such a Norton? Microsoft; I'll also be using the computer for school work and I need Microsoft Word and such. Does it work on a Mac? I can't think of anymore questions right now, but if I missed anything please let me know. (: Thanks. |

Yes, you can get Office 2008 for the Mac. The student version includes Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Entourage.
I use a Mac and do not use any virus protection software. I don't make the claim that Macs are immune to viruses, but as long as you don't willingly download any harmful files you should be fine. |
