Hiya mate,
Glad you found it useful. I've never before messed about with the
settings, just been on a long list of "things to do, when there's
nothing more interesting to do" LOL. I don't know about any central
repository for information, I'd say the best way for people to
assimilate (for want of a better word) new information, is just to sit
back, and sponge on these lists, because there's some great folks on
here, Rays last post proves that really. I mean, here I am, been using
a Mac for everything for about 4 or 5 years now, and I'm still
learning new stuff, like that voiceover command f10 thing that someone
posted in (can't remember who). A "Newbie's guide to the mac", would
be a fundamentally bad idea in my opinion, because the sheer bulk of
information, is more likely to scare the living shit out of new users,
rather than enlighten them, whereas, if they just sit back, and listen
and learn, they're going to be drip-fed new info, which means they're
more likely to take it in (little and often and all that), as well as
not be overwealmed by all the new tech stuff.
HTH, and sorry for the ramble LOL.

Hi Chris,
I would like to mention that this is one of those cases the I must
have missed, because I did not know that bit of information. I realize that
the one liners are not saposto happen, however I occasionally like to see basic
information. I am not calling for a clutter of information to the list,
however if someone has compiled nuggets that could be posted for newbees and
thick folks such as myself I would appreciate this. Additionally if there is a
compiled list of outdated techniques and piths that have been dispelled, they
may be helpful for people. Again thank you for this message.
Sincerely,
Scott

Hiya all,
I imagine that most people have already figured this out, but I found something
cool this morning regarding growl.
If you go to system preferences, to the growl preference pain, and "Display
preferences", third tab, set the default notification type to anything except smoke,
and notifications become automagically accessible. I'm using Notify OS X, but you could
probably use anything.
HTH,.
Take care,
Chris Norman

Well for me the rambel is just fine because, although I am not yet a Mac owner,
I am learning a heck of a lot and that it is not such a scary move from Windows
to a Mac afterall. Why? Because of good folk like yourself on great lists
like this one. So thanks for this list and keep rambeling on brother!

PS. There was a post I saw recently of someone who did come up with a
site where one can go to fined such a list member driven repository of
Mac things and such. I'll see if I can find the post and re-post it to
this list if I may do so if it's in accordance with this list rules.
