I've been a PC user all my life, and I bought a Mac.

Why?

Well, I did have my reasons, I bought one of the new generation MacBook Pros, 2.4ghz 2gb ram, etc. It just seemed like I these MacBooks were so well built. I needed a laptop for school and I didn't want some thick piece of plastic that I would be disappointed with both in immediately and eventually. My OS X experience was limited to only what little time I had spent surfing the internet on my friend's mac. But I had an idea. I thought I could set up my old computer as a file-server or something. Of course ideas are to results as seconds are to days.

Enough back-story though, what's the point of this blog?

Well, I've learned a lot since then, I've been working hard to adjust, and I've been figuring out some pretty interesting stuff. Interesting enough that I thought it would be a shame for my work to go to waste. Instead I hope to post it here and pray that the right google search will lead some lucky guy to a shortcut in what could be hours of work.
