And another switcher!

Welcome Small Dipper! Sorry but I do not know what Florence's iBook's name is nor do I know Riza's powerbook's name. :) Anyway, have fun using your new toy, Joyce. Just be sure that you run Software Update regularly to keep your system secure. However, make sure that you 'Repair Permissions' before and after doing an update.

Some other tips:
1. Use your battery at least once a month. Recondition the battery every few months.
2. Disable automatic user login.
3. Run 'sudo visudo' and add 'Defaults:ALL timestamp_timeout=0' to disable the sudo insecure root grace period. This will require you to enter your password everytime you invoke 'sudo'. By default, it gives you a grace period of x minutes after entering your password.
4. Enable tabbed browsing on Safari and enable pop-up blocking. You may download Firefox or Camino (Mozilla browser for Mac only).

Let's have a Mac Meet one of these days... :)
