A Switcher's Guide to OS X - link?

[klb028]

Hey everyone.

A while back last year, I found a link on this forum to a website (actually, I think it was a post in a blog) that was called "A Switcher's Guide to OS X" or something extremely close to it. It was really informative and helpful and also gave a lot of detail on what certain programs everyone should have to do certain things they would normally do in Windows. I tried searching the forum for the link, but I had no luck. I thought I had it bookmarked but it must've gotten deleted somehow. If anyone has any idea on what I'm talking about or know where I kind find the website at, please let me know! Thanks so much.

I don't think you're talking about this one, but it does something very similar:

That was it!!! When I clicked on the link, however, it took me to a "This page cannot be displayed" page. Crap! It was SUCH a good reference too. I refreshed several times and still nothing.

Those are actually two other ones I had bookmarked as well and lost. Thanks!

It works for me now, Katie. Welcome to the fams, by the way!

Well it's working for me (opera, firefox, ie). You can try Google cached version of the page
Anyway, the other links mkrishnan and i mentioned provide the exact same information. Hope that helps.

I got it to work just now as well. I guess blogspot.com was down for a few? Thanks so much for the welcome, mkrishnan!
