I have a Mac Book. I love it. Will never go back to Windows based machines. Because there are so few macs in comparison to windows machines there are virtually no virus. No crashing. Since your wife is a teacher I would suggest IWork. It has Keynote(Power Point), Pages(Word) and Numbers(Excel). The mac is a little different than windows but it is easy to learn with a little play. IChat is nice if you have two macs. It works like a video phone. Let me know if there is anything else you want to know.
