Hello all,
My wife and I just picked up a 24" alum iMac yesterday. I haven't used a mac since the IIe days ;D
Overall, the interface is intuitive and we are really enjoying learning a new system. We have each read through the mac 101 pages on apple.com, however hearing from actual people makes learning so much easier.
Now to my questions. I seemed to have removed the downloads dock icon. I can find it in the HD section but can't seem to add it back. Silly I know, but I am puzzled. Ha.
Second one, a bit more meat to this one. I don't fully understand the download function. Ok, I downloaded a game and now the icon shows on the desktop (not dock). When I click the icon instead of opening the game it opens another window which actually has the game. Now he is what I don't get. I can push that exe icon to the dock but to get rid of the one on the desktop I have to eject it. Which takes it and the dock icon into never never land and I have to install it all again. HELP!
I hope you can make sense of my questions, it's tough since I don't know the lingo as of yet.
I appreciate it all!!!
