I'm a new mac user - had my macbook for 4 days now, love it love it love it! Don't know why I didn't switch earlier.... BTW, can anyone tell me how to enlarge my windows- like the Safari browser, to fill the whole desktop, I'm still using the smaller centered windows and can't figure out how to change that

Top left, you should have 3 buttons- red, yellow and green. The green will maximise the windows to the largest size needed, so not necessarily full screen. You could always do it manually, by clicking and dragging the lower right corner of the browser window.

welcome to the mac world!
by the way...I feel your pain on the whole maximized windows thing and the first week it drove me nuts since I was so used to the way Windows is set up so tat everything takes up the whole screen...but now...I LOVE IT! its great that osx doesnt hog up the whol screen for every little thing...youll learn to love the fact that you can have 3 or 4 safari pages open and easily view every one of em...and im sure youll learn to love it too...trust me the non screen hogging is a blessing in disguise lol

OSX teaches you how to actually utilize the whole screen. I never maximize my windows anymore. I get annoyed when people do it now.
