Heaven’s man, what’s the panic? Yeah it’s pretty easy to learn a few things and do a lot more out of the box.

Mac users are more intelligent and sophisticated than PC users. Ask them.

Good luck with it, hope the learning curve isn’t too bad.

Take a breath, man. Are you posting using your Mac? If so, you’re already doing pretty well. If not, then what are you trying to do that you can’t do?

Does anybody out there know how to use this thing?

It makes a great boat anchor.

Go to System Preferences (From the Dock or from the Apple Menu) Click on Keyboard and Mouse. You can then configure your multi-button mouse to perform the way you want it to.

Click on some of the other things there. You'll be amazed at how many ways you can customize your machine.

If you don't love your Mac after about a week, I'll be surprised.

Look up instructions for reformatting your hard drive.

I’ve had a Mac for three years. I use my PCs and Linux boxes. I guess I’m just not smug enough to use a Mac.

Read the book tutorial that came with the computer

If you freeze up (perish the thought) hold down the power button to reboot

Do not let it intimidate you...we all learned to use it.

Please post your questions if you have specific issues.

Thanks and remember we MAC users welcome new users. Congratulations on buying your new MAC.

Dude. You forgot to wear your Dolce & Gabbana man bag. Put it on now and vogue. That sucker will purr like a Lamborghini.

LOL, welcome to the other side of the hype. I was singularly unimpressed once I got my hands on one. Personally, I think it is a left brain, right brain kind of thing. Donning asbestos now ...

Go buy yourself “Mac OS X, The Missing Manual” by David Pogue. Published by O’reilly. Or “The Robin Williams Mac OS X Book”. I have both and used to look at them all the time while I was figuring out Macs. I seldom look at them now.

What do you need to learn how to do? I can offer as much help as you need - it’s pretty simple actually...

This OS or that OS ... blah blah blah. I use Macs cause I no longer have to fool with spyware/adware and worry little about viruses. This is a big PLUS. Most windoz users don’t even know their machines are riddled with all sorts of malware and wonder why the stupid things are so slow.

There’s a good reason there are national radio computer shows making the careers of talk personalities who spend all their time helping poor Windoz users who can’t keep their machines running.

Just be glad you don’t have new Windows PC with Vista. Then there wouldn’t be any help for you at all, because the thing is just flat out uncooperative. The more people learn about how it “works”, the more pissed off they get.
