My New iMac...

[Joost Schuttelaar]

Nice :) might I recommend Apple Mail and Safari versus Thunderbird and  
Firefox? It's also how I started with back in 2005, coming from a PC,  
but Mail and Safari are much better (and nicely integrated, with  
Spotlight and Keychain and Address Book and iCal etc...). Mail has a  
good import utility for Thunderbird.

My favourite editor by far is TextMate (www.macromates.com). Not free,  
but seriously nice.

PS: Don't bother with Boot Camp, VMWare Fusion works great! :) (except  
if you're a hardcore gamer of course)
