The initall idea behind this document is to attack the mac switch problem from a user perspective. As a long time pc user who switched when mac decided to get a base in unix and make there computers more easaly modifyable. I found that I had trouble finding out how to do the things I wanted to do. The software was out there but finding it provided a challenge. Additonally I wonder what people do with their computers. If you ask a new user what they want out of a computer they ushally say email, internet, play dvd's or music but what about the power user what do they want to do?

This is a place to contribute your frustrations ask a question and get the short awnser. this is not a fourm because I find that alot of the time fourms get diverted into spesifics like "how do I configure and or install this?" or "i'm getteing error x what does it mean" if you have those questions or comments make a fourm here and express them but please don't include them in this book. The best way to find out what this is all about is to look at what's already been written. I know this page will help me I only hope it will help others. If your a die hard mac user please try and help out by awnsering a question. If your a fan of another operating system do your worst and ask a question that a mac running osx cannot do. and anyone please add questions or awnsers that you would find helpfull. maby when this is done we can awnser the question "what can't you do on a mac?"
