Slowly getting used to the Mac. Very slowly. It can be kind of frustrating as a long-time PC person to figure out to do things. I keep trying to remember back to middle school how to do things (the last time I used a mac regularly), but I either can't remember, or I DO remember, but it isn't that way anymore. Getting to buy all kinds of accessories for it helps me stay positive.

Yesterday I got a pink hard case for it to protect it from scratches. I also got a (pink) jacket for my (pink) Nano. Today I got a (pink) bluetooth mouse (I can right-click now!), an iSkin for my keyboard, and a cute polka-dotted neoprene laptop bag. All the pinkness is to prevent stealage by the hubby and brother-in-law. I also downloaded Symantec Antivirus and a freeware solitaire game (not sure I like it, may delete it).

Lest you think me selfish and self-absorbed, I also took the hubby to Men's Wearhouse to pick out a new suit and two shirt/tie/pocket silk combos to match, plus tailoring. He lost 20 lb and his old suit is now way too large.

I run Leopard on both my machines. I don't run Symantec because it messes with stuff and doesn't really do anything for ya. You can also enable "right" clicking on the trackpad in the settings (should you find yourself without the bluetooth).

If you have any specific questions, I might be able to answer them (I used to work on the helpline at the U).

If Symantec doesn't work, what do you use as an antivirus? Just curious.

You don't need an anti-virus for a Mac--that's the magic! There are no known viruses for Macs. Just keep up-to-date with your system updates and you should be good.
