Just purchased a 12'' Powerbook (first apple). Any suggestions before I start loading software applications. I plan to install Office 2004 for now. Thanks!

Install away. There's nothing you need to do before installing.

congrats! you're pretty much all set for basic needs like surfing, email, music, and video (and then some if u use the iLife suite).

if you're going to be playing any video files like divx/xvid i'd recommend downloading VLC. in fact i recommend it in general as it uses fewer system resources than quicktime for video playback.

any particular uses u want feedback for?

Power Book Start up

Thanks for all of the advice! I'll be using the laptop for basic needs...surfing, and office mac and just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing any programs that would make mac work more efficiently. I will also consider the VLC.
