Downloading and opening downloaded files was the most confusing for me. There are.sit files that are basicly like.zip files, you click on them and they auto open and a folder with the files appears on the desktop or whatever directory you opened the.sit in. The other thing is.dmg files. This is a disk image file that acutally mounts a temporary disk image and the files are inside of the disk image. You can then drag them out of the disk image to wherever you like and then drag the disk image to the trashcan. You of course can open.zip files. I also like www.macosxhints.com but it may be a little advanced unless you have unix experiance. Try getting a subscription to macaddict or macworld magazine. Macaddict has a more tips and less advertisements. And of course Congratulations!
I just got back from the Midwest Music Educators Connvetion. Finale and Sibelius had booths set up and I have to tell you Finale looks like crap compared to the new Sibelius 3.
I use Sibelius to arrange music for High Schools. I had used to Finale previously but when I got my powerbook with osX there was no version of Finale available. My entire University uses Sibelius and will probably not even purchase a copy of finale.
