New MBP and new to Mac?

[Nevrsadie]

I just got my first laptop and Mac all in one day. I am typing to you on a new MBP base model matte screen. I am in love with how tight and clean this thing is. Anyways you guys already know how sweet these things are. My question is, where can I find a good newbie guide to OS X? I have been reading on this forum for months in anticipation of my new laptop but really havent found a good guide. Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, no dead pixels and scree looks awesome.

Thanks for the replies, I think I am finally starting to get the hand of OSX. I just need to get a wireless router now. I see Apple is going to charge to activate 11n, thats kind of wierd but its only a couple of bucks. Anyways i am thinking of going with the belkin N1 router, anyone have an opinion. Or do you think Apples upcoming basestation will be that much faster becuase of matching the card and router?

BTW, I cant believe how much faster Safari is than Firefox, and does anyone know how to get your bookmarks in a column on the left like firefox does?

I don't think you'd notice much of a difference besides price.
