ry00n Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Congratulations and welcome! I'm sure you'll LOVE it! For software ideas, check out the Unofficial Newbie Guide to OS X. When I started, I found many helpful programs there. If there's something you can't find there, ask us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Check out the newbie guide here. It is a sticky at the top of this forum. There are many useful links there. You will definitely want to check out sidetrack which makes the very right side of your track-pad a scroll-pad. The #1 thing I use ALL the time on my pbook.
