Woo! I’m so happy! :beam:My parents are getting me a 17" iMac for my 19th birthday (which was today, 25th August). :love:

[_]ATI Radeon X1600 - 128MB GDDR3 SDRAM

I’m so excited. :hugegrin: I’ve never had my own computer before but I’m going to live in Belfast soon and I need a computer for my course in tech.

I was wondering if any of you Mac users out there know of any good accessories or software I should be looking at, aside of course from AirPort stuff and Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash and Dreamweaver.

Any suggestions? 🙂
