First, I'm PC guy, always have been. (Note: I know the Mac system is considered "superior", but what can I say, Bill Gates was the savvier businessman.)
But, my 4 yr. old daughter has an iMac (G3/233Mhz) that was given to her a few years back before she could even really take advantage of this machine.
Now, I'm trying to set it up for her to play educational software and games (believe it or not I was able to hook it up to my Linksys Router to enable the broadband hookup), but some things on this Mac OS is driving me nuts (my "Apple" friends say its simply too logical and that's why I'm having problems--sheesh)!
Okay, here are my questions:
1) There's not R-mouse button!? Heck there's only one button for chrissakes. How do you get "Menus" like a PC's r-mouse button would work?
2) Now do you switch between "windows" (for lack of a better term)? The old PC ALT-TAB doesn't work, and I have to manual move between open windows now! Aaarrggghhh!
3) How do I find the hard drive "explorer" or whatever Apple calls it?
4) What's up with no serial port for the printer? This thing only works with USB? Can this iMac plus directly into my HP printer's free USB port (serial in use by my PC) and share printer without problems?
Any/all help, tips, tricks for a maladjusted PC novice to the Mac system is greatly appreciated!
