Advice For The PC-to-Mac Switchers

If you've recently made the switch to an Apple Mac after using Windows exclusively, or even if you've just added a Mac to the fold, you may feel like you'll never learn your way around the system. Everything seems so foreign, and you think to yourself "Wow, I didn't think the learning curve was gonna be this steep!" Relax. Take a breath. Although doing things the "Mac way" takes a little time to learn, you'll be a pro in no time. You actually know more than you think from your Win ways, it just has a slightly different spin on a Mac.

A nice article detailing equivalents between Macs and PCs when it comes to keyboard commands, terminology, and other ways to help you familiarize yourself with not just a machine, but a new friend can be found at Apple Matters. As a matter of fact, it's written so well that I am forwarding a copy to myself to be used in training the student workers at our university help desk. Enjoy that Mac!
