Computer Help and Support

and therefore we'll get you a Mac' type of shots?

Personally, having just started (at 53) on a Mac for work, and being someone VERY tech savvy (started programming in 1979 and I've built like 50 PC's in my life), I'm here to tell ya ... if I was 70+ years old and reasonably proficient with a PC ... I wouldn't go to the trouble of switching to a Mac for just that reason alone ... better help from my family I mean.

There's so much help for PC stuff available online.

But I guess if it's a gift and you have no choice (can't say take this back and get me a new Windows laptop lol), my first question is ... do you have a backup drive with Time Machine set up? Cause if you do that, and backups are regularly running, then you can just have at it and not worry about breaking anything because Time Machine makes it very easy to just 'go back to 5 days ago' or whenever.

Just the fact that the windows min/max/close are on the opposite side, and the fact that the CTL button (actually it's CMD on mac) is in a different place is enough to make me f***ing hate using my Mac.
