Finally getting ready to order my first Mac, yay! Going with the base 15" i5 model.
Couple of quick questions...
I have a 500GB Lacie external drive that I use with my dell (connects via USB).
Will it work with the Mac?
Also, email......I mostly use hotmail these days. I know that I can obviously go to hotmail via the web browser....but for features like in 'Reader', where you want to email an article, and it throws the article into an email for you, which email service does it use?? Does it default to one (Gmail?)??
Last for now - what is the name of the app that allows you to expand Safari to full screen, even when not required?
Thanks!!!

1. Your external drive will work with your Mac. The issue will be formatting. If it's FAT32, you'll be ok. If it's NTFS, you can read but not write. You can get a freeware app like NTFS-3g to add NTFS compatibility to OSX. If you're going Mac only, you could reformat the drive to HFS+, but you then lose Windows compatibility.
2. I haven't used Reader yet, but I'd imagine it would default to mail.app which comes with OSX. I only use my yahoo mail through the web or on my iPhone.
3. I use Firefox, so I dunnoBut it annoys me too that Safari can't maximize to fullscreen by default!
