I use a pretty new Dell PC with Windows XP home on it - after problem after problem I purchased a macbook today via Internet so I don't have it yet. Now I'm scared to death! I will have a mac and will have no idea what to do with it. I am very experienced using windows and was in the pc computer field doing support for a few years. Now I'm starting over! Is there any websites that can get me started in learning before I get it? I am getting to where I really hate Windows and have been told macs' operating sys is better. I got:

2.0GHz Intel Core Duo 065-6307
1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x512 065-6233
60GB Serial ATA drive 065-6226
SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW) 065-6231
Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English 065-6235
Accessory Kit 065-6313

So - I've got 5 days before it gets here and thought I would get a jumpstart - I don't even know how to shut it down - it's that bad - LOL

5 days? I ordered mine on the 10th and it isn't scheduled to be here until the 24th.
