Mac Users

More and more of you are throwing out your XP machines and buying Macintosh computers. This is a good thing, but there are a few things you need to know. Paul Stamatiou listed the ten things every new mac owner should know in his blog found here. Here are the high points:
- 256MB RAM won’t cut it. Get 1Gig (I suggest 2)
- Don’t Defrag (this is an XP thing - not a Mac thing)
- How to close unresponsive applications (force quit is good)
- Where did the window go? How to find stuff.
- Updates (you need to get them)
- System Profiler will tell you everything (or a lot anyway)
- Expose allows you to see all windows at the same time (makes life easier)
- Login items - set them up to save time!
- How to Eject Optical Media
- Keyboard Shortcuts
Check out Paul’s tips and start enjoying your Mac!
