Howdy, My computer is working (if you saw my first posts) and now I am ready to rumble. But I, of course, have no idea what I am doing. is there any good sources for a tutorial on how to run this thing and figure out where everything is?
I would just like to get a decent working knowledge of how OS 10 works.

Thanks Kent
Newbie Mac Owner,
Please be gentle

If you don't mind spending a couple bucks this is the way to go:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...073662-1096961

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is new to using a Mac. I gave my brother a copy and he was amazed at the amount of great information that it contains.

I'd 100% endorse Pogue's missing manual. I borrowed it from a friend and read it while I waited (and waited) for my powerbook to be delivered. It was easy to digest and I ended up knowing stuff from the off that even long-term Mac friends hadn't known.
