[QUOTE="ImageX, post: 1321883, member: 115700"] Welcome to the forums and congrats on your first Mac! You should linger around the switcher area which can be found [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/"]here[/URL]. That forum should have a lot of info for you. I learned a lot when I first got my Mac by looking at a bunch of topics in that section. As for basic shortcuts, substitute "command" for "control". For instance, copy in Windows is "ctrl + c" whereas in OS X it is "cmnd + c". Also, get used to "cmnd + q". That shortcut is the Quit shortcut. Unlike Windows, if you just click on the red close circle, that window will simply close, not the whole app. To quit an app in OS X you need to click on it's name in the file menu and navigate to "Quit (This App)" or simply press "cmnd + q" and it will be closed completely. I hope you don't get discouraged with the different features a Mac has, because once you get used to it, it's much friendlier than Windows. Good luck. - ImageX [/QUOTE]
