I seem to recall that AbiWord is available for word processing on the Mac 
now. You can look at the download site at apple for other applications to 
try/look at.

You can also look into dual booting OS X with perhaps Debian or YellowDog, 
and get a whole new appreciation for the boot process.

As for what to look out for - my daughter has taken to carrying hers 
litterally everywhere due to a breakin & burglery(sp?) at the apartment at 
school. You have a nice machine, and some people would like to make it 
theirs 8-/.
