New Mac user looking for tips

[Joedub]

I have just bought my first Mac, a brand new macbook. I was wondering if there are any sites that you can point me to that will help me with my new purchase. Any tips from you guys/girls would also be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I am a long time windows user so be nice

Something I've done that has helped? Print out the keyboard shortcuts! Much easier to reference that way.

My cousin actually just bought me a "Macwarming" gift, the program KeyCue which will give you all, or at least most, of the keyboard shortcuts available.
