I am currently using CS2, as my department operates on an "if it aint broke, don't fix it" model, and I really don't do too much

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What graphics software are you currently using?
The Gimp.
I don't think that older version is so significantly out of date.
Cool. I think I'll give it a try.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
OK, I've got this really generous - $300! - gift card for the Apple Store and I've sort of decided to get an iPad mini.
But I have questions. I've only ever used Windows machines; what's the situation with virus protection and firewall protection with an iPad (mini)? And I do have a Verizon account for WiFi for my laptop and I'm wondering if I could use the same account for an iPad.
Anyone have any advice?

Trust my rage
Toddson, macs don't have virus issues. So I don't think there's anything to do. Do you plan on plugging it in to your windows machine? Perhaps that could cause an issue but I don't think so.
The iPad will prompt you to set up a 4G data plan if you want. You don't need that if you are doing wifi only (if I under stood the question correctly).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You mean iPad, Stephanie?

I'm not sure; in which part?

Macs do get viruses.

There are apps for iPad virus protection if you are concerned about that, Toddson, I think free or cheap. I dont know about firewalls or data plans, I'm strictly wifi and mostly am on my home network so I rely on its security.
I heart my iPad mini, btw, I find the size very convenient. Typing on it right now AIFG, in fact.

The application sandboxing built into iOS is a more effective virus protection than anything you can buy. I wouldn't spend any money on any software claiming to protect you from iPad or iPhone viruses. I wouldn't bother installing any free ones, either, but unlike Mac anti-virus software at least they can't cause more trouble than they prevent.
There's no real need for a firewall on iOS, which is good since there's no way to implement a firewall with the SDK available for iOS.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I actually own CS2, but I haven't been able to get it to work well since I moved from Tiger to Snow Leopard. So all the hubbub about getting it free reminds me to ask: any ideas about whether it's even possible to get the darn thing to run on Mac OS 10.6.8?
