Obviously your extensive computer knowledge is an asset, but that aside, the Mac OS is VERY intuitive. I have had a few people come over and "play" with the Mac and they all were able to do everything they could on a pc with no problems. I then had them "try" and do some other things like install an app (to which the response was always "is that all I havd to do?") I've also had them uninstall said apps to which they responded, " that's it?!!?" People are often impressed by the "little things". Like dragging an item into a folder that is burried. Just click and hold, and hover over then folder, let it open, then hover over then next one down etc... Peope are always floored by Expose` as well. No more alt+tab, just move the mouse to the upper left corner and BAM! And the way you can drag things from one open app to another, damn the list is endless! But I do have one word....QUICKSILVER!
