IDvd is mac's new burning program which is compatible with All kinds of disks. Out of all of Macintoshes built in programs idvd is probably the most confusing because you can burn three types of dvds/cds. Video dvds, music dvds and picture dvds. If you are burning a dvd you can customize almost everything about it, you can even make the option menu for the movie and picture you want. Cd burning if very easily usable because al you do is click drag the music into the idvd screen, same with movie or picture content. IDvd also will let you burn whatever you make with GarageBand.

Photo booth is the program that is hooked up the the built in web cam. Photo booth lets you take pictures and make movies. It also has a whole bunch of effects that are really interesting to fool around with. You can even make your face go inverted Photo booth is relatively simple no hard thing that can cross my mind.

The last program need explanation is MSN for mac. Macintosh has an MSN program that is downloadable there.
