Ok, this project is going fairly easy for us.

It turns out, there are great tutorials for everything around your new Mac directly from Apple. One is the Mac 101, which is a set of tutorials cover the first steps of setting up, customizing and getting used to your Mac.

 

 

This is great for us, since it gives us the resources to prepare tutorials and how-tos for you, covering all the great freeware tools for Mac OS X. In the near future we will look at a bunch of applications you will not be able to live without.
