Yes, I have found their support to be excellent. A couple of weeks ago I
came across a problem I couldn't solve - they had me trying things and
eventually we solved the problem after about half an hour. I know many
companies who would have given up and just shipped out a replacement (or
not....). I've only been using a MacBook for a few months but it was so
easy to use I picked the main features up straightaway - there is probably
heaps I don't yet know about....

Yes they are. I suppose the only reason Windows gets hit by so many
viruses is because it is so widely used, and the writers want to cause as
much destruction as possible. Although having said that, Macs are becoming
ever more popular so perhaps this trend will change. But for the time
being, you're a lot safer with a Mac.

Yes they are.
Apple is the company, the 'Mac' is a computer product (and short for
Macintosh).
Again it all depends on what software you need to run and what hardware
you need to drive, but I would highly recommend Apple computers. Even the
Microsoft Office Suite is available for Mac, and newer than the current
Windows version (2008) ;-)
