Hi, One thing which * might* happen to you when you get your mac is it might not talk right out of the box. this happened to both my husband and I when we got our i macs. How I got around this was to hit the space bar, then enter/return. After that, there is music, and then it talks and you can set it up by picking your location, etc. As far as permissions go, etc, I can't think of anything right now, it's all pretty straightforward. hth, Caitlyn On Apr 27, 2011, at 9:20 AM, ShamelessFanGirl wrote: > Hello all, > > Since it appears my Mac will be arriving next Monday, here are some last > minute/general information questions for you.
