[QUOTE="muso, post: 14973, member: 40"] To answer your second question, once you are familiar with the basics of OSX, I suggest you learn a few terminal commands; they can come in really useful. Also, (you may already know the following - they are what I consider essential commands) - Apple-Q is the equivalent of Alt-F4, Apple-Tab = Alt-Tab, and Apple-P = Print. Also if you have panther, exposé is awesome (F9-F11 keys). These are more personal preferences, but they may help you out a bit: Download Konfabulator, it's really useful and fun. Control or right-click on the toolbar in finder and drag the 'path' item to the active toolbar - I find that immensely useful since I use aliases and the sidebar links often and need to navigate within the folder heirachy, not back through the folders I've already visited. If you have a notebook and no mouse (which I've just realised you dont, but for anybody else I'll say it anyway), SideTrack is really useful (do a search on versiontracker.com) - it allows you to assign a part of the trackpad to scrolling.
