If you are on Skype or want to talk on the phone then let me know off list.
I like talking to fellow geeks. I do pretty much all that you asked about
including the Windows stuff, so I can give you a quick rundown. My Skype
handle is numpadplus

Subject: new to all of this mac stuff
OK, I bought a macbook pro and have a mini. The macbook pro already has
win
xp on it as well as os 10.5.3. I have the windows side well covered,
naturally, but I want some pointers on how to get started with the mac
side.
I know voice over to a basic degree. I would like to know everything I can
about doing the following:
messengers on the mac. What works best for aol and windows messenger
web browsing, best place to go to learn how to read in html areas
reading pdf documents.
playing music over a network, i.e. music stored on a shared hard drive on
a
windows box
basic operating system operation, i.e. burning CDs, moving, copying files,
etc.
Whatever else you can pint me to that will give me a push in the right
direction.
I am a native windows user. I don't plan on dumping windows anytime soon,
but I do want to learn the Mac and use it. My plans for the mac mini were
to
use it for shoutcast radio streaming, but again, I do want to do email,
browsing, etc. The macbook pro is mainly for work, but I also want to do
music related stuff with software instruments, recording and the like. Any
pushes in the right direction will help. i am a techie geek kind of
person,
so don't need a ton of hand holding, just point me to documentation and
keyboard shortcuts and I'll figure it out.
