I asked a freidn of min about it, and he mentiond
Movie Gallery. He didn't mention how well it worked with the million and one types of video files, but it organizes VERY well. I just keep them organized on folders, personally.

Don't forget Bootcamp....but Quicken is so much better it makes me giggle (and I'm not a man that giggles).

Linux support is good in third party software....and there are third party versions of QT and iTunes.

- OH, I gotcha. Brightness: f14 = less bright, f15 = more bright
- Rotate the screen can be accessed in the display preferences
- Lock the screen...hmm there's several ways to do this.

I got my eMac back in 2003 and iPhoto came free. I bought my mom an eMac in 2005 and it came with iPhoto. I bought my little bro (Ch'i) a Mac mini Christmas of 2005 and it came with it. I'm almost certain it still comes with iPhoto free.

Yeah, that's a drawback. Companies like Samsung aren't always friendly to Apple products. It's a thing.

Leopard should be out very soon, possibly June.
