I am still a starter …

2. Before we start ...
I started to use Mac OS X about two weeks ago
and I just spent few hours or few minutes
everyday for fun. As you know, I also have one
Thinkpad T410 as my primary workstation.
It is easy for most of you start to use Mac, but I'd
like to share what I learnt from my experience.
Especially, we are old Windows-birds now. :)
