The dock (little bar at the bottom of the screen) is just a list of shortcuts to apps that you use often. You can customize it by dragging off unwanted icons, or adding icons dragged from your applications folder. Also look in your system preferences (it should be in your dock as a bunch of gears, if not look up at the top under the apple symbol menu). This is where you setup the look of your computer, make it your own. Get rid of that ugly universe thing on and put a pic of a pretty SVX up as your desktop picture.
Enjoy the new toy, and start learning some of those fun apps you now have.

Once I finally figured out "safari" was not a tour of random animals, I quickly downloaded firefox. Im not sure what all of these icons are either. They dont really explain much on osx. Its like they expect anyone who uses it to already have experience. I cant even really find tours and stuff either.
Im headed to the repair center on monday or tuesday so I can have the memory installed. They void the warranty if you open it yourself. lame.
