OK, I’ve spent a significant portion of my day off exploring Mac OS X, and here are my thoughts for the Mac OS X newbie.
First, a disclaimer: I’m not a complete computer newbie. My first computer was an IBM AT and then an IBM XT. I started off with DOS 3 and moved on to Windows 3.1. I’ve run every version of Windows since, including the terror that was Windows ME. I’ve also installed numerous versions of linux since the kernel was at version 2.2. All of that is just a long way of saying that I lost my fear of computers a long time ago. It doesn’t bother me too much if I break something.
