.Mac and Utilities..advice???
In the process of switching to iMac 17 from Dell crap, two SW questions:
(1)Good idea to purchase .Mac in order to obtain backup and antivirsus SW as opposed to buying various 3rd party SW such as Norton, MacFee, etc???
(2)Does the iMac 17 include utilities SW or do I need to buy 3rd party such as Disk Warrior???
For PC, have used Norton with overall good results but not sure with Mac

2. Apple has the old standards, First Aid and Disk Utility. You may want to invest in Norton--though, I have not.
P.S. If you're only going for .Mac for utilities and backup space, it's probably not worth the money. One of the utilities is Virex; when's the last time anyone in here got a virus in OS X?

Virex is practically useless......And backup is nothing special.
But .Mac do allows u some special functions like hompage, which is only worth it if u need it.
Weigh the pros and cons carefully. .mac is expensive.
