Good bye windows, hello Apple
Well I?m making the switch, and was wondering if anyone knows of any book, articles, web pages, etc. specifically for the wintel convert. IE, if you do ?n? in Windows here is how you do ?n? with apple OS (x or classic). Any help is much appreciated.

I don't know of any good books off-hand, but I'm sure someone else here can suggest one.

I'll post more if I can think of some good ones.
Just wanted to add to Starfleet's list of sites:

:cool:
Looks like I'll be frequenting this site for sure!
More converts = good
If you need any help, just ask (nicely heh) here, and you'll get it no probs. I think there is a new users forum too... so there ya go!
Have fun with ur mac!
I would also recomend the book Insanely Great by the author Steven Levy. A very good book on the history of Apple, this one only 336 pages.
It is good to have you over to the Macintosh platform, I hope you enjoy yourself
I think there is a Missing Manual for OS X (as well as iMovie, etc.)
Never read them myself... (Actually trying to remember the last manual I read that wasn't a man page...
If you tell us what you do (specifically) that would be a lot easier for us to give you "advice"
there are pros and cons about mac when
compared to pc, but I am happy that I
converted!
guys in this forum are really helpful
all my queries were very well answered,
even some really 'stupid' questions (to
a newbie).
I have got the ' missing manual' as well
a good book for convert or new comer for imac!
enjoy your mac!
