>Are there articles or www-sites that >explains at the level of "OS X for dummies"?
Most of what I've seen are sites that give early opinions. As the months roll on you'll see more info in the print magazines. We're still very early in this new world. Most of what's out there now concerns 10.0- 10.0.4, since 10.1 won't be available to the general public until Saturday. I've been waiting for some good books also. It seems wierd for this user to need or want a MacOS book, but I freely admit I want one. It isn't that it's hard to use, it's imposible to understand the guts without some unix training, I think. Whereas the guts of the System Folder in our older versions are somewhat intuative the new System Folder is, uh, "not for you (the user) to muck around with". Both good and bad, but I want to know more and a dang book is gonna be the only way now. But more to your point, check out apple.com. When the 10.1 update was officially announced the other day Apple updated most of their pages concerning what it'll do and how it'll do it. Start there. >Why it is so great? I concur with Pete. Multitasking and protected memory (intimated by Pete earlier) is really very powerful to experience and it'll make the current interface indiscretions melt away (I hope) and let us all get more work and play done, which is what the Mac is all about. There are other features of course, and it is the future of the Mac, and why I'll certainly be going "all OS X" as soon as it's practical for me to do so. Don't be turned of by the newness or interface differences before you learn more about the advatages. OS X is not really about the look, but that's what you'll be hearing the most about. Practice "selective hype' if you can! -David -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
