A mini-guide to Mac OS X for new Mini owners

The folks over at ArsTechnica have put together one of the best
switcher guides I've seen so far. With the
Mac mini being priced affordably enough for many frustrated Windows users to finally take the plunge into OS X, there are more and more new – and confused – Mac owners out there today.

Although I'd recommend the
Missing Manual series of books for comprensive coverage of OS X and various applications, these kinds of mini-guides fill a void for many a new Mac users, since Apple seems to hide all the useful info a new Mac user needs to know in the Help menu, which, ironically, is one of the last places people who need help seem to look.

The Ars mini-guide is a thorough, yet brief primer... values I am working on perfecting myself. It covers the basics,
like window management, adding printers and other peripherals, networking and file sharing, and application behavior.

Even if you've been using Mac OS X since its
practically unusable beta days, I think it's worth reading these guides, if only to remind yourself that there was a time when you didn't know everything.
