Need new contact program for Mac
Completely new to Mac/OS X. What do I need to know?
My father-in-law replaced his old Mac Mini with a newer Mac, so he asked me if I wanted the Mini.
I've been a Windows guy for almost two decades (with a soft spot for Linux) but have never owned or used a Mac.
Being that it's an older Mini, based on the Motorola chip and not Intel, it's not going to be the fastest thing ever, I'm sure, but I figure as something that doesn't cost me anything it's as good a way to learn about Mac as any.
Seeing as I am a complete Mac virgin, I was wondering if those of you who know your way around Macs would give me a piece of advice. Something you wished you knew when you first started using your Mac, or perhaps that one piece of software you just love and can't do without. Whatever. Anything.
Since it probably can't handle video editing and stuff, being so old, I'll probably mostly use it for surfing, and writing... More if it can handle it. Like I said, I dunno about Macs.
Thanks for any heads up you can give me!
