ILife will be on the DVD shipped with your machine. So, if you do not
receive Snow Leopard on the machine, you can simply perform an upgrade
if you wish once you have SL.

The cut command is not available in read-only boxes and lists. The
copy command should be available in this case. Also, I don't think
cut is available in file browser, because generally a cut item is only

First yes, if you reboot the machine, you of course will need to

off the DVD it needs to be in there in advance for you to hold down
