[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1654425"] Ok, for the file management, I would suggest you get a book on the OS. There is a series called "Missing Manual" that has been pretty good. Here is a [URL="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032755.do"]link[/URL] to the publisher. That may help you with the transition from what you know about Windows to OS X. As for software being more expensive, yep, fact of life, that is. Don't really have much of an answer for that, it's just that Windows developers get to recover development costs over millions of users, OS X developers have a smaller pool of potential customers to recover the same costs. As for the pop-up ads, two recommendations, Ghostery and AdBlock+. Both will do a nice job smashing those annoyances. And if by any chance you get hijacked by adware, AdwareMedic is a good tool of clean things up. [/QUOTE]
