Switching to Mac OS X: A Guide For the Mac Faithful

Mac OS X. Apple wants everybody to make the switch to Mac OS X. But we all know that there are many die-hard Mac folks out there who just don't see the need to upgrade. Many of them are secretly afraid of learning a new Operating System, but many more are mad at Apple for foisting this adventure upon them rather quickly.

These words are here for the world of Mac folks who are either not persuaded or afraid of the big change. This is not for PC users; it is for the Mac fans around the world wondering "why?".

I would encourage you to check out this guide from Apple. Their guide is for learning OS X after you've switched. It contains a lot of answers to common questions, which won't be duplicated here in most cases. But read mine first!

Drill down for answers to your questions, o ye Mac faithful:

• Why Should I Switch?
• Devil's Advocate: Why Should I Stay?
• Help me find XXX on Mac OS X (location manager, etc...)
• What's up with this disk/folder structure?
