Greetings:

A common question always comes up on the forums asking what to do first when getting a mac. I posted a guide and would love to hear your feedback on it. It is located at: http://www.dailybrilliance.com/new-m...en-you-get-it/

Feel free to repost the article anywhere you'd like as long as you give credit to the author.
