Hey!
Apple's own videos here: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/
Can explain a lot of the basics.
If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to PM me :)
To be honest, everything is super easy. I wouldnt watch too many videos as it spoils it, but its really easy.
Sign up for AIM, Log into iChat, and add me incase you need any help

I reccomend Adium (Lots of IM client support),
Skitch (snap an image, make any adjustments, upload it with one click) Open beta atm.
Yeah, sign up for an AIM account and use iChat. Then also add me, thegarnermattQuote:

Got my mac! Will take pictures later.
Question, i've downloaded Adium, how do you do it so that you can get the neat little list on the desktop and the cd jewel case? ty
Cute little lists -

Select a style :)
Jewel cases is a program called CoverSutra. You can buy it, or get it from 'certain websites' :)
ok thanks now I have another problem. How do I get adium to start automatically and sign in when I turn on my computer (like on windows)
When adium is in your dock. Right click/CMD-Click - Select Open at login.
thanks a whole lot :D
