Raul, enjoy your new computer adventure. Your post brings up a large question: If one were to decide to start using a Mac, how would one go about learning it? In the case of the iPhone, it seems to me the process is easy: get an iPhone, read the VoiceOver documentation on the Apple site, read Anna Dresner's book, talk to fellow users, and start tapping. How would one approach the Mac? What kinds of documentation are useful, and where does one find this documentation? Which Mac does one start with?
