Ten Things Every New Mac User Should Know

Paul Stamatiou has compiled a list of ten things that every new Mac user should know. I like what he's come up with and don't disagree with any of them. I'd add to that list: Command-Tab is handy for switching between programs and the home/end keyboard keys don't work the same way as in Windows. I might also add that the delete key is not a forward-delete key.

For brand new computer users, I'd explain how control-click and right-click are the same thing, and how to use contextual menus. I might also explain how to customize the sidebar and Finder windows, and perhaps also how to use the little-used but handy Services menu.

What things would you show a newly-switched Mac user, or a new computer user?
