to close a program from the dock is control+click.

Choose force quit if safari/camino or whatever program you use freezes.

Shuts down the program just like control alt delete on a PC

dude i just got my black Macbook 2.16ghz with 2gb of ram, 160GB hdd today! this notebook is sick. the 2gb of ram decresed my boot time insanely! i love it.

i installed Office Mac & iAlertU today. I may try to install Vista using Bootcamp otherwise i may just use Parallels ( anybody have" _____ed version"?)

As much as every hates vista, i plan to just run virtual pc on top of vista if i really need XP that bad.

fire fox like I said
are you into making music, or videos and shit, thats what these computers are best for and there are lots of products/programs out there along those lines.... I mean what did you use your old computers for? Get the same programs if they have os x versions I guess... lol

I am going to install Final Cut tomarro on mine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif & if i can find a copy of ProTools I'll do that as well.

There are a ton of shortcuts you have to learn when using a mac...blasted single button mouse. I should anty up and get the mighty mouse.Protools might run fast and all but mac's have the lowest output voltage ever.

My g4 imac was horrible, my g5 isnt much louder.

I dreaded the mighty mouse btw...goes in Apples Hall of Shame

what are the advantages of having a mac and now having one

Advantages:

Its not gay like windows

Its based on the Unix Core—Not the blue screen of death

Disadvantages:

You might not be able to use the same programs

Not as many games available
