Getting Used to this MacBook Pro

Macs rock! I'm thoroughly impressed with how easy it is to manage this MBP. I've installed Eclipse, OpenOffice, FireFox, and all of the other programs I've needed (except ColdFusion, I'm getting to it). It is such a cinch to use and it's fun too!

One thing I miss on this Mac is the "End" and "Home" keys. You can do it using Command+[right arrow] for simulated "End" or you can use Command+[left arrow] for simulated "Home". I can get used to it.

I also needed to view hidden files in Finder because I needed to view the httpd.conf file for Apache. That's easy too using Terminal commands:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

To hide the hidden files simply change the value to false:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder

I don't remember where I found that code so, I apologize for not posting the link.

Installing programs is a breeze. Download the program, extract it to .DMG if needed, double-click .DMG file and off you go.

Again, I'd like to thank my friends at the USU PAD Team for "enlightening" me about Macs.
