HI Jacob,
Thanks for the info regarding configuring the startup items. That sounds
straight forward enough. Just on another note, am I right to assume that
aliases is equivalent to the Windows idea of a shortcut? So for example I
have audio hijack instead of copying the whole audio hijack applications
folder to my mac desktop I could place a shortcut to it by using the alias
function?
Again thanks for your help,
David Truong

Hi David
The Mac is free of viruses, as far as I know there's not a single in-
the-wild virus that affects OS X. Spyware is nonexistent as well, as
99% of the spyware out there relies specifically on holes in either
Windows itself or Internet Explorer to get in. There are anti-virus
programs for Mac, but you really don't need to run any.
OS X is able to start items at login. Go under System Preferences,
then accounts, then login items for the user you wish to add the item
for. For instance, if your user name is David, go under system prefs,
accounts, select David from the list, then select the login items tab.
There'll be a table there with all the current login items, and an add
and delete button.
I'm really glad you're going to give OS X another trial. An informed
opinion is the best kind.
hth, and ask all the questions you want on this list, that's what
we're here for.
