My very first computer was an Apple ][ and then because of work and everyone else I knew, I went to a PC and have been there until now. Now I have "inherited" my daughter's MacBook because we got her a Pro for college. I want to clean it and reconfigure it for me instead of the middle-school kid who used to own it, but I feel pretty clueless as to how to go about it.
I'm used to getting into the bones of computers using a command-line interface; I've got an Ubuntu VM running on my PC at home.
I don't know why, but I feel intimidated by this Mac for some reason.
we probably DON'T Have the original boot disk for this machine. If there is some way to make a bootable USB, I could use that.
I appreciate any help and advice.... thanks!
