Got my first Mac (mini) today!
Apart from early misunderstandings that I shall sort out over the coming days and weeks, I was thrown by the message - "2 items Zero KB" on my new 120 GB Mac-ette.
This happened after I had downloaded Firefox and it was installing itself. It appeared over a graphic indicating Firefox is about to move to the Applications menu. My first thought is that this is a permissions issue. I did get the console window open and felt a bit more at home, only to find a tree that was oddly different... Anyway I didn't come to a Mac to do that sort of thing on my first day!
[edit]
just found, in Desktop-sysinfo that Desktop is shown as 'Zero KB' as well. Significant?
[/edit]
I have found and ticked 'Keep in dock'. Also saw and ticked 'Show in Finder' but it still won't show under Applications.
I am concerned that this spurious message bodes ill for my future Mac experience. Should I carry on spending my time under the Linux hood or will I soon experience Mac efficiency?
