   All i can say is just keep using it and explore all the tools. You will just have to get used to not having to right click. It's easy you will get the hang of it.

It actually does support a right click... It needs to be enabled in the Keyboards and Mouse Preference Pane. Check the box that says "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click".

It may also take a bit of time to get used to other gestures on the trackpad, such as dragging with 2 fingers to scroll, but once you get the hang of it you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. I now get really frustrated with the trackpad on my work issued IBM laptop.

Depending on how long you have used Windows, the overall interface may take a bit of time to get used to. Here are a couple of good resources to get started:

   http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/index.html is one of my favorite apps for the mac. Other tips install MS Office just in case you need to talk to other people who communicate in .doc. And enjoy not having to worry about spyware/malware ever again.

I transitioned to mac after years of PC use just couple of months back. I found a website called, if memory serves, www.myfirstmac.com that is designed to help people familiar with Windows find their way around within the mac environment.

It was incredibly useful.

...and that's, one to grow on.

Buy the apple care. It's not just another warranty scam. I'm on my fourth apple computer product, and have used them twice, and know 3 others at least who have used it too.

Play with it a lot. The more you play with it, the more it will give back to you.
