I've just purchased a Mac mini (and very mini it is too) and have a few questions about the little beastie and it's Microsoft siblings. I have looked around the FAQs and tried searching but that's not helped by the fact that Mac is too short a word for the search engine, and a lot of the advice is a couple of years old.
Anyway, in no particular order:
Can any of the Apple software read and write to Word and Excel documents or do I have to buy Office for Macs?
In order to set up a wired/wireless network (Mac and PC) I was looking at a Netgear DG843N; is the AirPort a better bet?
Can I drag and drop MP3 music files from my PC to the Mac or are there visibility/compatibility problems?
For external storage of MP3/video etc. does the unit have to be mac compatible/formatted or can I do that from the minimac?
Thanks in anticipation
