I’m green with envy…
1. First and foremost, expect to spend a week or two getting the hang of OS X. Just, don’t get frustrated.
2. Use the built-in OS X Help as much as possible.
3. Google for: OS X tutorial for tons more, and see YouTube, too..
4. Try to find a more experienced Mac user to mentor you.
5. On www . apple . com read the FAQs, Forums and Knowledge-base articles.
6. Try to find this book at the library, among others:
Teach yourself Visually: Mac OS X leopard
– Wiley Publishing (ISBN: 978-0-470-10167-4)
7. Try to find this book at the nearest book store ($36).
7. Buy it on Amazon for about $22 plus shipping.
8. Post here if you get stumped, sometimes OS X is so easy nobody thinks to explain how. REALLY!
9. Call Apple Tech Support or ask at the nearest Apple Store, if nothing else works.
10. Can’t find a program for OS X , like you used on Windows? Post it here, too.
Bonus TIP: iChat has “Desktop Sharing” built-in, so others can “show you” how to do some real magic.
Now, sit back, relax and have fun!
Under the ‘Help’ menu choose ‘Mac Help’, this will bring up Leopard’s internal help system. Inside that is a header for first-time Mac users called ‘Exploring Mac OS X’. It is a comprehensive guide to learning the Mac, including a sub-section on switching from Windows. It should really help you out, and hopefully will answer 90% of your questions.
oh and congrats on the new Mac!
