Ok....in the next week or so, I'll need to buy a PowerBook for my missus for her to do her 3D rendering work on. We have both never used a Mac before, and she needs it for her course.
A few questions:
1. Any advice on what to get and where the best deals are?
2. Can I plug in a separate mouse to the PowerBook, and not have to use the touch pad?
3. Are there USB ports on a Mac? If so, when using a USB memory stick, do I need to have it formatted a special way, or can it read FAT32?
4. Can someone explaing to me in simple terms what .dmg and .sitx are. I've gathered that .sitx is some form on compressed file (like .zip), can a Mac extract from a .dmg straight off or does it need to be burnt to a CD like an iso?
