I don't claim to have any 'skills' but I seem to be importing non-Mac
software for the jobs I need to do! iPhoto is a handy, simple/simplistic
prog for dealing with my snaps, but I haven't really gone with any other
of the bundled Mac software yet!

That said (Rob) I do like the machine a lot - it's nippy, neat and has a
clean-looking front end with a much better 'feel' than 'bloaty' old
Windows Vista!!

"Bloat" always makes me think of a Mac, with those inflatable icons
:-) I'm sure it can be configured not to do this. Even Vista is
pretty configurable too. What's important is how it behaves when
you're in an application. On Mac I'd be paying for a suite of
entry-level "creative" applications that I don't want or need. I
guess that's "bloat" as well.
