New to Mac and glad to be here!

Hello everyone!
I was a mediocre level PC user until I fell in love with the new iMac flat panel and just "had to have it"! Waited 3 months to get delivery and finally it's here - looks fantastic on my desktop, no miles of wires and separate CPU - all in all a master of design and soooooooo far ahead of Windows I was delighted to find a forum devoted entirely to OSX and plan on visiting often.
The above is just a preamble to give you all fair warning that I am a total newbie to the system and will likely have all kinds of dumb questions for you. So please indulge me, I so want to learn the system and make full use of this wonderful computer.

Thank you.

iMacusr
P.S I am also a girl!

I've said it before, I'll say it again...

Welcome to MacOSX.com.

No question are dumb questions, but don't start browser threads ("Which browser do you like?", for example) because we have too many. In general it's a good idea to search before starting a new thread, because it might already be here.

Sheesh, listen to me lecture the new user. Sorry, I'll try not to blather on so much...

welcome to the forum!!!

Don't feel stupid to ask questions. After all, that's why we meet in such places! And feel free to take a virtual drink in the thread called "Herve's Bar and Grill" in this part of the forum!!!

I hope you have fun with the Macintosh, you won't be dissapointed.

I left the x86 platform myself a few years ago and I have NO plans of going back. Actually, I realized that to me, EVERY platform is better than Wintel, Sun,SGi, but especially Apple!!!

One thing though: Apple doesn't have much users.....it only has FANS!!!!

That's an insider joke. You are free to post any questions you have. We currently have a small problem with people around here who think they have to raise their post counters by posting pointless stuff like that one.

If you have a question, an answer, anything which fits into the forums, post it!
