I finally ordered my first Mac yesterday. I've been a PC user since 1994, but since purchasing an iPhone a couple of years ago, I've been considering making the change over to a Mac.

As they are kind of expensive compared to PCs, I guess I was just waiting for the right deal. Yesterday I ordered a brand new 1st Generation Macbook Air which I found on clearance for only $1099. So it's in the mail now and I should have it by tomorrow.

I am aware that the 1st Gen Air had a few overheating problems and something called "core shutdown", but from reading the message forums, it seems that the problems have been somewhat smoothed over with some software updates from Apple, and I'm not really a hard core user, so I think I should be fine. By getting the 1st Gen instead of the current model, I saved $700.

Any advise from Mac users on the forum? Is there anything I should know in advance? I have read in the past that there is no need for any security/virus/spyware software. Is that still the case?
