What is the easiest way to learn how to use a MAC?

Answer 1

Sit in front of one for an hour and you'll figure out how to do most stuff, but you can read Mac OS X for Dummies to find out more stuff you can do.

Its easy to use, just a little different from Windows.

Some Differences:

* The close, minimize, maximize buttons are at the top-left of a window, not top-right. * The menubar for the active window or programs shows up on the top of the screen, not on the top of each window.

* Programs are often installed by just dragging that application-name.app file into the Applications folder. * The "command" button replaces the "control" button for most common shortcuts. * Command+Shift+Z instead of Command+Y to re-do an action that you have un-done.

* Squeezing the Apple's "Mighty Mouse" shows all open windows at once.

* You can hold down the control button and scroll to zoom the screen. * Instead of a start-menu, you have all the program and folder/file shortcuts on the dock at the bottom of the screen. Also, minimized items are held in the dock instead of a taskbar.
