Terrie, Though it may not be completely up to date, since it predates Mac OS X by a good bit, O'Reilly's "Crossing Platforms: A Macintosh/Windows Phrasebook" (which I wrote with David Pogue) would have likely been helpful in your transition as well. The book never sold at all well (it was confusing to shelve in bookstores and probably should have been split into two separate books), but it received extremely positive reviews from those who did get copies. cheers... -Adam

  Thanks Adam! I did get some useful information from your book, but I do want to take a closer look. It seems like a Win-to-Mac OS X version might be a really welcomed update (I'd love it!).

  I totally agree. I'm about to switch from a PC to a TiBook, and just doing things on the store demo machine seem a bit strange. How will I know how to boot into something like a safe mode (hopefully I'll never need to!)? Is there an equivalent to msconfig ? These things I've known for so long I've forgotton how I found out in the first place. OS X looks like it handles too different to 9 and down to warrant purchase of "Crossing Platforms" Terrie, keep up these articles. I've looked for weeks for something like this online, and it simply doesn't exist, let alone anywhere near as good :)
