I just got a Macbook Pro for Christmas (Merry Christmas to me!), I have been a big PC user ... so I'm trying to figure everything out. These forums have helped a ton, but I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions for a book? I'm looking for something that will give a more in-depth picture of features, but geared toward a "switcher" I've heard good things about the "Missing Manual" would that be a good way to go? Thanks!

Hello and grats on the new MBP. Yes some people really like the missing manual

http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard.../dp/059652952X

But personally as a long time PC user who switched over just 2 months ago finding out how a mac works was 1/2 the fun. It didn't take me long at all to figure out how things work but I will warn you some things are so simple you just don't believe that this is how things are done. What I did was read about the features and them look them up how they work. I used this as my list
