[QUOTE="gtg622r, post: 337968, member: 27683"] Before I go to deep, let me just say I’ve been a lurker here for almost a month now, and I absolutely love this place. I’ve been in the market for a laptop, and almost all my questions concerning Macs have been answered through searching. I’ll be traveling to Atlanta tomorrow to pick up my first Mac ever! I’m very excited. I would order it from Apple.com to avoid the labor cost associated with upgrading the memory, but I just can’t afford to be without a laptop any longer. I’m purchasing the 15” MacBook Pro and having the memory upgraded to 2GB. I’ll be getting “Office for Mac” through my University at a much cheaper price than Apple offers. I do have a few questions concerning first time use, transfer of files, etc. [LIST=1] [*]Every time I sit down at a Mac on campus and plug in my SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro, I can’t get it to work. The Finder shows the U3 system files, but I can’t seem to access the drive. Thoughts? [*]What’s the most efficient way to transport files from my PC to Mac? Can I just hook them together with a network cable, or share a file on my PC and access it through the Mac over my network? This is only a serious concern because of the fact that I can’t seem to make my flash drive work on a Mac. [*]I’m planning on picking up "Mac OS X Tiger Edition - The Missing Manual". Is there anything else I should pick up at the Apple Store while in Atlanta? [*]Are there any suggestions for first time use/order of operations? I read in another thread that it’s as simple as pushing the power button, watching OS X boot up, entering in personal information and boom. [/LIST] Thanks so much for the help! [/QUOTE]
