Love my new iMac but have basic questions

[OCalcutta]

I've had my new iMac (21.5 base) for almost 2 weeks now and wondering why I didn't make the switch earlier. It is fantastic!

Can anyone suggest a forum (or is this it?) where I can go for very basic (stupid) questions? I know there have been links posted here for first time Mac owners from the Apple sight and I am going through it.

Right now I am wondering what the eye icon on top right is. Goes to something called Memeo. Should I delete it or leave it alone? I am using Time Machine with my Go Flex and seems to be working great. I like clicking on it just to see the space travel thingy.

Also, another annoying thing is in the mail program. Messages are all highlighted in blue. Quite a distraction.

I apologize if this is the wrong forum for these questions.

Thank you.

Do you mean the magnifying glass? That's spotlight.

Do you have any rules set in mail that would highlight emails as blue?

Thank you for your quick response.

No, the 'eye' icon.

Yes, I have set up rules in Mail. Two of my rules have no highlight and two do. Strange.

Maybe a picture of said eye? Not sure what you are referring to.

Hit Command and shift and the #3 at the same time and it will take a screen shot and place it on your desktop. Attach here and maybe someone can help after seeing said eye.

is that a monitor for your cores? Click on it...what does it do?

No idea what it is. But this is what I get when I click on it...

That's a back-up program, it not a pre-installed program.

This is the link of the product, i think some spy accidentally installed it on your computer . Just check out the link and see if you like the program or not. If not, you can just search spotlight for "memeo" in the corner of the screen and press show all. Then, move everything to the trash can.
