The genuine Intel motherboards including CPU have come down quite a
bit in price.  Take a look on the Tiger Direct web site.   But for the
most bang for your buck, AMD is still the best.

Try iTunes as Alan has suggested.  It's very user friendly.

I've never tried but unless you have the typical "edit" function on
the main menu, it may not work.  You can always try holding down the
shift key and sliding your mouse across the text you wish to copy by
highlighting it and then press Control "C".
