	Log in to remove this sponsored message I've been known to Windows OS only, ever. From 98 to Windows 8, all I've used is Windows. And now I'm on a Mac. >____> Macbook Air, running Mac OS X I guess. How do I make myself feel more at home? It's weird and nice at the same time, yet I feel like I miss Windows already... I tried to ctrl+c/v already to no avail. What are some basic things to get me going? Can I customize things like in Windows? And, is it good for gaming? D: I also miss double-clickin to maximize and minimize windows. Bleh. ------------------- last . fm

	Use Cmd+C and Cmd+V. You can use Cmd+M to minimise or turn on "Double click a window's title bar to minimise" in the dock preferences. Also, Spotlight (Cmd+Space or the magnifying glass in the top-right corner) is your friend. Edit: Mar 12, 13 4:23pm

	Be sure to turn off 'natural' scrolling (i.e. scrolling down to move up) A handy shortcut is CMD+` (the key beside the #1). This will switch you between open windows of the same program, like the browser. And forget about CTRL+ALT+DEL, it's all about CTRL+Option+ESC

	Oooh, I'm getting used to it now, and it's nice. Absolutely love the display. Only thing I'm still trying to adjust to is not having a right-click button. How's gaming on it? I'm not much of a computer gamer in the first place... but I did enjoy playing certain games with an Xbox 360 controller. Can I do that on a Mac? ------------------- last . fm

Simply click down on the touchpad with 2 fingers. And try taggiebogle drivers for Xbox 360 controller support. It works for some (not all) games
