Also, don't forget these keyboard shortcuts (apple.com). The screen capture ones are really, really handy. I use shift-crtl-apple-4 all the time and it is great!

i actually have done the same, and i think it's ironic that most PC users that switch over to Apple refer to Apple as "the dark side". Any way I ordered my MBpro Feb 7,and i've bee…

Transmit (www.panic.com) does ssh file transfer - it's great. Also, make sure you install Quicksilver on your Mac and you will not believe the productivity boost you'll get. As f…

I would also recommend Panic's Transmit FTP Client. It is an amazing FTP client, actually worth the $$$. BTW, congrats, welcome to the mac way of life . . .

I made the switch 6 years ago and in spite of the windows users at work "not getting it", I have been very happy and I doubt I will ever buy a windows machine ever again.
