[QUOTE="attackeagle, post: 499319, member: 35251"] [b]recent switcher greetings[/b] Not a "crazy computer" guy, but after years of having a PC because of work instead of the macs I grew up on I switched back. I guess I'm a new switcher though because os/x bears about as much resemblance to system 7 as windows does. :) So far I have been using my Macbook for 2 days, and I'm starting to get the hang of not having a "start" button and program list, and not having a "my computer". Was finally able to set up a network instead of just wireless net access on the Mac despite it being from the family XP making all the networks setup .exes useless. Is there someway I can import my bookmarks from my xp's safari 3 browser without having them clutter the **** out of the unit by having them hidden away enmasse in 'imported' bookmarks? I will do more research on this. my only issue, and I am sure this is probably because I DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT XP EITHER:Oops: but I c'nna not seem to locate my printer from the mac. I've followed the instructions i've found to the letter adn it never shows up. It is a lexmark z600 connected via USB to the emachines desktop. this same xp machine is the one conencted to my belkin wireless g router that runs the wireless and network. I attempted the daemon? instructions I found in one of the posts on these forums, and that killed it from the xp machine too. not a super critical issue as I can still take the MB over and plug the printer in via usb, but I would love to be able to print witout carrying the MB around the house and leaving it sitting in a vulnerable spot. Anyone has anyideas, feel free to pm me so I don't clutter the boards with my ignorances of the computing world. thanks for the greatresource, and glad to be back... [/QUOTE]
