[QUOTE="DragonLady, post: 472155, member: 37069"] Hello everyone! After roughly a year of mulling over [I]switching[/I]... here I am with my shiny new Macbook (2 days old!) and I'm utterly in love with this brilliant little machine. :) While I've been able to find a wealth of information on the web to answer my various questions and guide me through the transition, there are a few items that I just cannot seem to find THE answer on... Granted I haven't had the need to yet, but if I want to uninstall an application and there is no uninstall option what is the best way to do so? I've found answers from dragging it to the trash, Appzapper, Appdelete, and [I]I don't know[/I]. I know I cannot rename my shortname/user folder without either a special 3rd party app whos name escapes me at the moment or a whole lot of trouble. However, can I rename my harddrive itself (as in the one on my desktop) without problems? I'm not feeling particularly adventurious as I'm still learning the OS. And the silliest question of them all... all the billion times I was in the Apple store before purchasing, if I moused over the dock the icons for the apps zoomed out a bit as I moused over yet one. However, the icons on my dock do not do that. Trival but I found it charming in the store. What makes that happen? I'm guessing it's once there are enough icons on the dock to warrent horizontal scrolling? (taking a blind shot in the dark there) I feel a burning need to find out every bit of information however trival or tiny that I can so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance and extremely happy to join the ranks! :) [/QUOTE]
