Lazyweb - My First MAC

Apple-savvy user query...

Yes, after a lifetime as a PC owner, I'm contemplating purchase of an Apple MacBook Pro (likely the new 13" laptop).  My question is regarding software and specifically, what is "must have".  I've already determined that I should purchase Parallels Desktop.  Beyond that, I've no idea.

Help!

You will want to get a good size outboard hard drive. The Mac has a program called Time Machine, which backs your stuff up. Nice and useful, just so you don't have to think about things.

Thanks for the recommendation! Always a good idea to backup my data as I do at home.
