Gravatar Image3 - Congratulations you will love it I think Emoticon

Optionally you should also consider...

VMWare Fusion
Coda or TextMate
CSS Edit
NeoOffice (Free) (or iWork - not Free)
OmniGraffle (Not free & I like better than Visio)
MS Remote Desktop Connection Beta (Free and buggy but better than CoRD IMHO)
SuperDuper (Free)
Flip4Mac (Free)

...

Gravatar Image6 - @1 - there was one in the box

@2 - sounds like a plan, thanks

@3 - got VMWare and the MS Remote Desktop (the only piece of MS software that's going anywhere near my precious MBP I hope). Will try the others in due course - thanks for the tips

@4 - "My name is Julian Woodward, and I'm an appleholic" Emoticon

@5 - I have no idea what most of those might be for, but I'll have a look in due course - thanks.

Impressions so far: why only one mouse button? It's a bit like the Chinese: they invented fireworks, and walls, and electric lights, and Bruce Springstein, and lots of other things we think are modern scientific creations ... but never came up with anything more advanced to eat with than two pointy sticks. Mac: wonderful design, terrific engineering, great software ... only one mouse button. Why??!

Other than that, enjoying it immensely. My Dell desktop suddenly seems so last year.
