I got my Christmas present early

I love this forum but I have been a windowz guy all my life. What forum do you Mac users frequent? I have a lot of questions!

But there's always macworld.com. and apple's support site is full of info

Mac Forums They have a specific area for "switchers" that was invaluable for me when I saw the light.

If you have a friend that knows a little about Macs ask them. I would suggest plinking around and doing the self taught method. It's more fun that way. Apple has a section on switching over on their site as well. The Mac is meant to be user friendly so don't be afraid of it, just jump in the deep end.
