Mac's are fun. Enjoy it! To right-click, simply ctrl-click and it will seem familiar! :)

Yep, had one when I worked for an unnamed company that 90+% did Mac stuff. =) I feel like it helped me become "multi-lingual" and get a better grasp on computers. In any case, enjoy! Krista Pam,

We have more than half of our ed. tech masters candidates who use macs. There is an ongoing debate about which is better Mac or PC. It makes for lots of jokes. Seriously though, I am sure you will love your mac. When I was faced with having to purchase a new laptop for my program I had to decide mac or pc. I went with mac and have never regretted the decision. They make podcasting, movies, etc. so EASY! Have fun!!! Pam

But, I suspect once you get the hang of things, you will never go back to the dark side now that you have seen the light. A book I would recommend is The Macintosh iLife 08; A visual guide to iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband and iWeb by Jim Heid (Peachpit Press) If you want to learn iLife fast, this book is the ticket. You are gonna love your Mac, maybe you will even get you school district to see the light. I have been a Mac user since its inception in 1984, so my bias is strong.

If you have any USB mice, you can plug them straight in and the right click will work. If you're using the trackpad, then hold down the control (ctrl) key to right click. There's plenty of help out there, and loads of people willing to help you over the initial bumps... Just feel free to ask or tweet any problems or questions! Welcome to the Mac side!

I love my Macbook. I am also at an all PC school and own all PCs at home. Once my desktop will need to be replaced, it will be a MAC. Here are some <a href="http://www.langwitches.org/blog/category/mac/" rel="nofollow">posts</a> on my thoughts and tidbits along my journey of becoming "fluent" in MAC. Enjoy your MAC! Pam,
