I am a convert......finally!

After many years of using a PC..... I am finally dumping it and joining the good guys! My macbook pro is on the way and I should have it by Wednesday! I'm pumped! Can anyone recommend a good book or two on the Mac OS (Leopard)? I'm a little familiar with the Mac OS, but still need to brush up on my skills!

This is a good start!

You can also search around on Apple's website for useful tutorials. If you can't find the answer to more of your questions, try using the Search function of these forums and if nothing still comes up post something and we'd be happy to try to answer the question!

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

welcome to the forums, and hope you enjoy it as much as i do, people here are wonderful

welcome in the forums...
on the book thing though...I actually doubt that you will need one to tell you the truth...OS X is so easy to use that only by playing around for a while you'll just learn all the necessary stuff...
there are some cool sites on leopard that I visit occasionally

Welcome to the forums, glad you have seen the light

welcome i have a macbook pro and i love it.

congrats. Welcome to the good side

Welcome to Mac and this forum! I agree - you will find the switch much easier then you think. There are lots of very good threads in this forum regarding hints for Mac, etc that should help you immensely.

welcome to the forum and the mac side of computing!

As for needing a book, i would say dont bother. most things are easy to understand and you will learn the little tricks you can do as you go allong. If you still need help there is always here and google.

Welcome. Yeah, you can learn as you go along, but you would be best served by learning the basics as quickly as you can. A book wouldn't be that bad of an idea: I've heard a lot of people recommend "The Missing Manual" series (there's one for Leopard) by David Pogue. At the very least (maybe first), read through the sticky threads at the top of the Switchers forum...that info is a good primer and can save you some pain in the future.
