The "Where'd It Go" Dictionary (Windows Version)
One for the switchers: the Windows version of the "Where'd It Go" Dictionary.
If you are a PC-based person who is new to the Mac, bookmark this handy guide from MacTipsAndTricks.com. It will allow you too look up common functions for Windows and find out where the equivalent functions are in Mac OS X.
So if you want to use your digital camera with your Mac, and know only that you would use 'Camera and Scanner Wizard' on Windows, you can look up "Camera and Scanner Wizard" in the guide and it will tell you,
When you connect a digital camera or scanner to your Mac, either iPhoto or Image Capture opens automatically and prepares to download the pictures automatically.
And here's a tip to make the guide more useful: once the page loads in your web browser, use your browser's 'find' command to search for the thing you know in Windows: hold the APPLE key and press the 'f' key. (It works in all browsers.) The guide is not exhaustive, but if you searched for "camera" or "scanner" or "wizard," you'd find out what you needed to know. One to bookmark!
I like to keep more important bookmarks in my Dock. Grab the icon in your web browser's address field and drag it down to the right side of the Dock.
