    NO VIRUS SOFTWARE. I know they sell Norton but its a waste. Apple care is a good idea if you can afford it. Check out shieldzone.com for a really good skin. Check out the sticky about switching, and wait for Sam to come in with his standard 2 links. Other than that, welcome to the club; and don't be afraid to ask for help :)

    Not particularly, everything's pretty much set up for you.

    Although reading Sam's Switcher Guide is always useful. :)
