[QUOTE="alucard, post: 227079, member: 17698"] Think of the program mounting as unzipping a file which i know you had to do with windows. once you have it mounted double click it. When it open drag that to your applications folder (or create a folder of your own and put it there). You have to manually drag it to the dock if you want quik access to it. I've been a PC guy for many years and one of the problems i had with OSX was how easy it was to install and uninstall. all you do is move the folder (or file) to your Macintosh HD or to the trash. Lets see windows do that. Your mom is probably used to windows so much that she doesnt want to learn the new interface. It does take time to learn OSX. I have been at it a month and i learn new stuff all the time. And the worst thing you can do is compare the two OS's. If you got your Mac at an Apple store or if you have one near by, spend the extra $100 bucks and get a pro care account. You can only learn so much from people typing and telling you. sometimes you need someone to help you and watch what you are doing. I know $100 is a lot but its a good investment. I got one and learned a TON of stuff. I am going back later for an iMovie and iDVD session. OSX really is an awesome interface and easy to learn. Take what you (and your mom) know about Windows and toss is out the, well, window. :) [/QUOTE]
