[QUOTE="coach_z, post: 199363, member: 5513"] when installing or dragging and dropping select where you want to put each individual file. note to remember about ilife stuff if you move it, they will not automatically update if you take them out of the applications folder (or put them in a folder within applications) this irks some of us a lil bit. it doesnt close the application because that button is meant to close the window. instead of moving your hands off of your keyboard, just hit command + q in order to quit the program entirely. and command + w to close just the window. a suggestion from me to all the new users is to keep your left hand on your home row of keys (asdf and thumb on command) and your other hand on the mouse, so many keyboard shortcuts can be made in this manner and you will barely use your mouse. when i am on macforums i only use my mouse to 'get new' and then open all the topics i feel like reading by command +click and then from there i dont touch my mouse for a good 45 minutes. cut copy past, like already mentioned is command +x,c,v respectively. think about my keyboard/mouse hand position. sometimes if i have like 5 movies on my computer at once and i want to compress themall at the same time using dvd2one i create 5 copies of the program, open them all up and then do what i need to do. i dont know if this really answers your question i dont even have a printer, cant help you there for those who want 'full screen browsing'. the icon in the window will make your window larger or smaller depending on the page you are on. it will make the window the perfect size for the site. if you really want full screen browsing drag your window the the top left hand corner and then drag your bottom left corner of safari to the bottom right. just so you all know, it took almost all of us a while to figure these things out and it might be a little weird to switch at first but remember you are using a different operating system and things are going to be different. you can still do just about the same things that you did on a windows machine but it might be a little different. a lot of us will say that they are better than windows but it is still personal preference. enjoy the OS!!! -chris [/QUOTE]
