So I have a MacBook Pro from work. I\’m a noob to OS X (though I\’ve used unix for some time, cmd line).
I\’m sure that most of my hang-ups are related to the fact that I\’ve been using windows since 3.1, so my brain is used to think in a specific way.
Someone suggested I read:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
Nothing terribly useful (that I didn\’t already figure out by just looking). Really for super noobs.
Gonna see how useful this is:
http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/
Obervations:
1. Copy/Paste is very weird for me. I\’m very used to control+c, control+v, while on the mac its apple+c, apple+v. Very weird to change my habits.

I\’m trying out a Blackberry 8700c for work. My first time using a Blackberry device/OS.
Going to list some Pros/Cons and compare with my WM5 device (i-mate K-Jam).

Dialing speed – When I push buttons, the bb dials. Not so on the KJam, which has serious lag. |

Alarm – the bb alarm options are very limited: daily alarm: on/off, time, snooze, active on weekend: yes/no. Where as the wm deive has 3 alarms, each with checkboxes for each day so you can pick and choose when you want each alarm to work. |

Navigation: Touchscreen really kicks ass. The wheel on the BB is pretty nice too, but selecting text is damn annoying. |
