[QUOTE="goodKarma, post: 1409888, member: 254936"] the machine is a pain to use because it is so slow and not at all intuitive. I downloaded an app from the app store that promised newbies some orientation, etc... it was a limited time offer. I don't recall what it was called. But today I finally get time to look at it and it is not there. Does anyone know? I really need to learn more about how to function on this machine. The only reason I bought it is to do development work, which the Xcode IDE has changed dramatically (seriously annoying) in the at least two releases since 8 months ago. They don't just change simple things, they change major structure of the development environment. I cannot buy a book, I did two times and both were obsolete within a matter of weeks. At any rate, if someone can tell me what that so-called "free" app was, I'd gladly pay money to learn more about basic functioning. No wonder PC users don't like iMacs. I am ready to toss mine out the window at this point. There is nothing intuitive about it imo. in fact, I cannot even find a place on this forum to start a new thread! I'm an intelligent educated person. But somehow I have been brainwashed by easy things, that any deviations tossed out like 'how to post a new thread on a forum' becomes a challenge. Geez. sorry in advance to apple fans. I'm trying to become one, but nothing is working :p [/QUOTE]
