I seem to remember those dressed in White were the Dark Side of the Force.

I seem to remember those dressed in White were the Dark Side of the Force.

Storm troopers wore white, but the Sith lords seem to be always robed in black.

Congratulations on that system.

I, for one, welcome our new Apple overlords.

I'm like a little bee caught inside. The WINDOW broke so I was able to fly away. Fly away! Fly to freedom!

Be patient. This is learning a new OS and things won't be exactly the same-- if you ever feel frustrated, take a deep breath walk outta the room (or better yet, use Windows ) then come back to Mac OS X.

Ooh!

When you close a window, you do not quit out of that app.

To use each app's menu bar, you've got to make sure the menu bar is indeed for the app you're trying to work in. That one got me for a bit.

Just remember; it is different and you have a lot of bad habits to overcome.


I always try to remember that it works intuitively as opposed to Windows.

Wikibook

Check out the wikibook in my sig. It's not done by any stretch, but it might help you at some point. Or not. Give it a couple months and I think the beginner section should be done.
