noob: getting back online after a year

[millet]

I used to play some online before the law changes on PartyPoker, but ended up just playing cash games at the local Indian casino over the last 6 months or so. So I no longer have an active cash account online.

I started the epassporte steps 3 days ago to get cash into an account, probably be active in 10-14 long days after that's all through.

if anyone here would like to give suggestions I'd appreciate it:

I'm looking at starting a new account online with (likely) Full Tilt unless you have a better place.

What's the best way to optimize my first deposit and get rakes back? is there anyone that I can also help here get some kind of bonus for referral?

I also prefer to use my Mac, so OS X friendly programs are best, although I do have a couple of PCs around too.

thanks for the help!
