I hope I didn’t post this already, I don’t think I did. I’m a PC geek, and I’m going over to a friends house tomorrow to help her figure out a Mac that was given to her. First off, I would appreciate any beginner tips.  
Mainly, I would like to know if anyone has found a FREE ISP (like Netzero) that has Mac software. So far, Altavista and Netzero both are PC only. Any ideas out there?  
Thanks a bunch 🙂
