    Hey all,

    I just started using my new Apple MacBook which you can check my first post here :D

    Actually i love everything in it, but as i am using a normal windows laptop i am not able to understand any keyboard shortcuts etc. and many other things.
    Guys who already are using Mac can be helpful in guiding me to some nice places where i cal learn more and more things basically about this Macbook. :)

    Check the post for a couple of doubts i have :rolleyes:
    I am sure there are a lot of Mac users around in DP. ;)

    I have the same apple notebook ...
    With 80 gb hard disk...
    I have subdivided it into two operating system and have xp too.

    I have alloted 55 gb of space too xp and work over it and when i get time i try out the features of mac ...

    The most wonderful part is the white remote that you can use in mac ... that really turns the mac book on....

    Cheers !!!
