iMac's - bought one, now what?

Emcee: Kid Rock	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

After being "involved" with PC's and software for over 15 years I actually bought my first one - a tangerine iMac.

Why?

Kids needed one bad - they use Macs at school.

1200 bucks included a color printer.

Easier to decide vs Dell or Gateway or IBM or Compaq or....
(waited 15 years to "get-in", had to stop finding excuses)

Now what?

where is all the software?

how can I plug the Casio into it so the kids can start composing their own Opus 36?

do I need the hub? other peripherals?

Netscape of IE?

other software add-ins??

HELP!!!
