for just about everything. Just go to Apple.com and look. I went to 2 or 3 of the free classes (the one-on-one are not free - that's an option you can buy for the first year if you choose) which sometimes helped, but really, just went because I thought it might be easier to have someone tell/show me instead of doing it myself. It really wasn't, but I am a visual learner. Actually easier for me to use the tutorials. Might be the other way around for an audio learner.

I don't see why anyone would need any photo program except the IPhoto it comes with. I did purchase the IWorks (came all together then - but you can buy them separately now). I have never used the Keynote (like Power Point), but then I never used the Power Point on my PC. I use Pages now and then, and Numbers (like Excel) quite a bit, only it is so much easier for the casual user, and if I would sit down and do the tutorials, would be even easier. I would forget the Excel tricks in between uses. Apple makes Numbers easy.

I no longer have a desktop and would never buy another. I had a PC laptop for 3 years, and am on my second year with my Macbook. The PC still works, just never use it anymore. I thought we would use both, but both of us are willing to wait for the other to finish up on the Macbook. No one wants to use the PC.
