[QUOTE="Ragle, post: 42943, member: 5555"] Well, my transition to Mac is nearly complete. I received my little iBook from FedEx today and I am absolutely loving it! I will delve into the various technical experiences and questions I have had in a moment. First I wanted to relate something extremely interesting I learned about Macs today, iBooks specifically: women dig it. I carried my machine to campus today in order to get it set up to use the wireless network. While in the library, just fiddling around with various settings and tweaks, I was approached by a woman I only knew vaguely from seeing her at the fitness center. She was eyeing the iBook as she walked over to me and said how "adorable" she thought my computer was. She started asking questions and I passed off what paltry knowledge I had as being Gospel. One thing lead to another and we are going out this coming weekend! Thank you Mr. Jobs! Anyway, on to some of my experiences. As I mentioned above, my campus has a wireless network installed using the Aegis client for authication and security. My first frustration of the day was in finding out the version my school had available wasn't compatible with Panther. The redemption of this was in finding out that OS X already supported the various protocals Aegis had supplied formerly. All it took was configuring a new Internet connection using my inexpensive D-Link wireless dongle and I was in business. So far, all the apps I have installed and ran have done so with far less difficulty than Windows. I do have some questions, however: 1. There are some programs that Panther shows as being mounted discs. VLC player is one of them. If I "eject" the disc, that is the same as uninstalling the program, correct? How do I install it permanently in my Applications folder? 2. Where do "ejected" disc images go? The Trash? Some kind of holding folder? 3. How do I access the Trash if I accidentally deleted something? [/QUOTE]
