Welcome to the world of the Mac!
You get Text Edit built into the Mac; this app lets you write text, and format
it with links, lists, fonts, alignment, and so on. You can't do margins--at
least I don't think you can--and there is nothing like template support or
other advanced features. Fr gett

It does give you some capabilities as well. You'll be able to hook up
your mini to any VGA monitor or NTSC TV to share stuff with others. Not
a bad thing to have in your bag. If you really want good behavior
