I just got me first MacBook. Enjoying it, but facing a couple of frustrations.
In Windows, I always use the Address Bar to get to certain places, like other computers and IPs. What's the Mac alternative? Or am I stuck with the limitations?
Secondly, I am unable to see my computer from other Windows PCs, and I don't know what my computer's name on the network is. How do I find/change my computer's network name, and how do I enable other Windows PCs to access my Mac?
Unrelated question: I want to install Windows through Boot Camp, but I'm worried that doing a full format on a partition would be somewhat unhealthy for my brand new harddrive. Am I right to fear so? And will I be able to just delete the partition when I want to, and change it back to how it was, or will there be complications?
Thanks in advance.
[edit] Oh yes. How do I make my MacBook keys glow?
