I just got a MAC G4 Dual 800MHz Processors w/ a grip load of memory and HD space. I am finally a happy Computer User. Any tips for a MAC newbie?

I also have quick DVD burning capability now. Woot Woot!!!!!!!!

Congrats on you new purchase. You will have easy sailing from here. I am in the process of doing the same and becoming a Mac user.

Congrats, Leith! Macs are awesome machines... I have an iBook G4, but I\'m sad to have to give mine back to the school system on Friday - it\'s been so much fun to use! First thing I learned was that they DO NOT crash as much (if at all) as a PC, and it\'s very simple to use. Do you have any specific questions that you\'re wondering about?

Tips. hmmm

CTRL + Apple + Q to logoff

Terminal is nice. You will find it under utilities.

Watch those ibooks they tend to get really hot and need to breathe. I would suggest a laptop cooling pad for long periods of use etc. It helps keep them happy
