Avast! Antivirus Software

In setting up the MacBook Pro, I purchased and loaded Avast! Antivirus Mac Edition, which has a really clean user interface and Avast! offers a 50% discount for nonprofits, charities, education, and government customers. The discount is great especially when you are buying multiple 3-year licenses! Check out Avast! at: http://www.avast.com/

MacBook Pro

I recently had the opportunity to purchase and set up an Apple MacBook Pro for one or our church worship leaders. The MacBook Pro and the OSX operating system are sweet! It’s easy to get hooked on the interface and the thin dimensions of the MacBook. We purchased the unit from Consistent Computer Bargains (http://www.ccbnonprofits.com) who gave a good price on both the MacBook Pro and the three-year AppleCare warranty. While I was impressed with the MacBook Pro, I could have purchased at least two nicely equipped Windows laptops for the same price.

Another source for Apple products for churches is the Willowcreek Association (WCA) (http://www.willowcreek.com/), they also offer a discount for Apple products and software for WCA members that appears to be as good as Consistent Computer Bargains or slightly better.
