Run, don't walk, to get O'Reilly's "Mac OS X For UNIX Geeks" - if want to leverage your UNIX knowledge with your new Mac system, this book will be invaluable. I got a copy for Christmas... it's very handy. > 5. Sources of mac hardware/reviews. I still can't believe the premium I > have to pay for a "Mac" video card... I buy lots of stuff for my Macs at Other World Computing: http://www.macsales.com/ -- they don't have everything, though. Small Dog Electronics (based in VT) is also a good place: http://www.smalldog.com/ I'm also the member of the very active "All Things Macintosh" web forum at dslreports.com. We welcome switchers and the folks are usually very willing to answer your questions: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/macdsl There are some very knowledgeable people in there, and we have a good time too. ;-) > 6. Any other tips for a windows convert. Keep up on the latest Mac software, news, etc: http://versiontracker.com/macosx/ - tracks new Mac software releases http://www.macintouch.com/ - Mac news and commentary http://www.lowendmac.com/ - for folks like you who have older Macs http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ - Mac hardware reviews and news, very good if you're considering any type of upgrade for your Mac, be it CPU, Video, memory, hard disk...
