I prefer Apple Mail and Safari to Microsoft's Outlook and Internet Explorer. You can get AOL instant messenger for the Mac, but personally I prefer iChat for use with AOL, you can get iChat to also work with Facebook and MSN too Apple will fix these current problems within weeks I am sure. Also corby you can also run Windows on a Mac too if you do run into any compatibility problems, but hopefully you will not have any. On 16 Jun 2010, at 23:16, Ricardo Walker wrote:
