Lion and OS5 learning curve

Just got a new MacBook Pro 13" this week. Before then, I had the original MBP 15" that came out back in 2007.

A lot has changed since then!

The new 13" MBP feels like a whole different animal. I have lots to learn. What with iCloud and Lion and OS5 I feel very overwhelmed.

Even the finder looks different. Like, where the heck in the finder is the Administrator icon picture?

And why is it that every time I close the lid on the new MBP and then open it again, I have to LOG IN to the computer?

It's little things like these, and some big ones too, that I need to figure out.

Can anyone recommend a book or online site that explains it all?

Also stop down to your local bookstore (remember those?) and pick up the latest book on Macs by David Pogue. Check out Macworld for their latest on IOS 5.

For your immediate relief: From the apple-menu, open system preferences and choose the security-icon.

Under the general-tab, uncheck the upper left hand checkbox which demands you to log in always.

(I'm on another language, so I hope I have guessed fairly appropriate terms).
