OT: Mentoring Mac NewBies

[JOHN RUSSELL]

I think David Pogue's Mac OS X: Panther Edition, the Missing Manual (O'Reilly) 
might be a help to you.  It's over 700 pages in length, but quoting from the 
back cover, here's how it starts:
"Getting started: The early chapters demystify the Dock, windows, and the 
unfamilar Mac OS X folder structure - - an ideal introduction."
Here is a partial list of early major topics from the table of contents:
Folders and Windows
Organizing Your Stuff
Dock, Desktop, and Toolbar
etc., etc....probably much more than you want to know.
This book is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and any online tech 
bookstore, as well.
