| the more u use OS X the more you'll understand the elegance in its design. I too was a PC user for years.
First thing... you always know what application is active by looking at the Finder taskbar located on the upper left hand corner. (picture 1.jpg) Let's say you decided to check your e-mail. Hit command (apple sign) - tab until the Mail.app is highlighted. This assumes that Mail.app is an active program. Let go of the keys and if you look at the upper left hand corner, it should read Mail (see picture 2.jpg). Then select command-shift-N. (This is a keyboard shortcut to check mail. See picture 3.jpg) If you got mail and you want to view the application hit command-1 and Finder should open the main screen of Mail.app. Lastly, let's say you want to reply to this e-mail that's highlighted. hit command-R and a pop-up reply window should open. This is but a small example of how OS X works. Much different from PC. More elegant in my opinion.
Lastly, it would do you great service to purchase a How-to manual for OS X |
