Getting To Know Your Mac

After using PC's for almost 15 years I started to dream of switching to Mac. Over these years I've been using MS-DOS, Windows's from 3.11 to Vista and briefly some Linuxes. When I started designing websites for a living I've been mainly spending my time with Windows XP.

There's actually nothing wrong with Windows, so you can't consider me as a Windows-hater. On a good day (and with right hardware) Windows performs the tasks I want in a breeze. On a bad day… Well, you know what happens when it's a bad day.

Over the last few years almost all my friends switched to Macs. Majority of my friends often told me that a Mac just works - no pain, no lost hair - and the rest aren't complaining about their computers, they are just using them - and loving them.

Last time my Windows-based computer gave me the same disk boot error it gave me just two months earlier I decided that I've had it: I'm switching, there's no more time to waste. I hopped in to my car, drove to the local computer store and got back with my first brand new Mac, the Mac mini.

Now I've used Mac for couple of months and quite frankly I have to say that I have some mixed feelings. Everything haven't been working as smooth as I dreamed, but after all, Mac is just another computer. I'm not going back so I just better learn how to use this thing.

So, expect to read about my discoveries including hints, tips and all the other things I think you'd need when starting to use the Mac.
