I just bought a Macbook

As a former PC user, the switch was quite difficult. I am still getting used to not using ctrl+c to copy, but instead using apple+c. Other than those few things, I really feel this is a far superior computer. It is very simple, which I like, and I don't have to worry as much about getting viruses. Are there any other changes that I will come to find out about a MAC? Please keep in mind I have only had this machine for 3 days, so I'm still learning the ropes.

I'm a Mac convert too. I've been using a PC most of my adult life and having to work with them in the office a Mac never really appealed to me. It was only very recent that I wanted to know about different operating systems so decided to buy the MacBook. It was still pretty pricey but I thought if I didn't like it then I wouldn't have wasted too much money. When I fired it up and started playing with it, I fell in love! It is so much better than my other PCs and so easy to use. It does what you ask it to do! It takes a while to familiarise yourself with the commands but you'll get the hang of it in no time. If you want to forward delete you will have to press down the fn key and use the backspace key. I can't think of anything of hand but if you have more questions let me know and I'll try to help you out. Congratulations on purchasing a Mac - you'll never regret it! I didn't!

Wow thanks! I have been having so much difficulty trying to delete and having to go after the text and delete back. This really helps!

Glad to be of assistance! The offer still stands - if you have any other queries just ask and I'll try to help out. I'm still a novice myself with the Mac but enjoy finding things out and sharing with others when I can.
