A few questions from a newbie.
I am getting a new 20" iMac in a few days and want to be able to accomplish the following:
1. I want to be able to keep two printers (normal inkjet and a label printer), my ipod, and an external hard drive plugged in. I'm assuming that I will also need two USB ports for the mouse and keyboard. Is there any problem with using a USB port extender?
2. I regularly backup my PC's hard drive in the event of a system failure. Is there any recommended software to do that in the mac field?
3. I use Microsoft Money 2006. I know that Quicken for Mac will import my files, but I have read some negative reviews on Quicken. Is there any other recommended software. I need to be able to connect to my bank.
4. I also back up my data files to an external drive regularly. Is there anything that will allow quick copynig of my documents directory?
5. I have a backup drive formatted for my PC. I would like to be able to access the Microsoft Office data that is stored on there. Will my iMac be able to read this drive?
Help appreciated!!!
