Chia Pet?
Disclaimer:
I'm completely new to the mac OS.
I downloaded the Chi Pet widget and I just thought it'd grow grass on it's own, but apparently you have to water it. Mine died, and I was kinda upset because it looked pathetic lying on its back all dead-like with this note that said, "YOUR CHI PET DIED BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO WATER IT." Exactly like that. So now, I occasionally click the water droplet next to it and I don't notice anything happening to the Chi Pet, so I was wondering if I was doing it right. I really like the Chi Pet widget because I have two real Chia Pets of my own.
On to a completely different (and a little less inane than Chi Pet widget) topic...how often should I reformat my laptop? After I downloaded FireFox it said I could eject the something from the hard disk and I'm still confused on what a .dmg file is. I know it's disk image, but I don't know what I can delete and what I need to keep to use an application. Can I move stuff from the applications folder to the desktop and will the application still work? Is there a book that's like, What To Do When You Switch To Mac from Windows? I really am not sure how any of this works still, and the help topics don't always work. I'm still trying to figure out how to switch iTunes from regular view to mini-view. It says there's a zoom button at the top left hand side of the iTunes window, but I've yet to find it there or a preference listed in any of the preference windows.
And also, I'd like to apologize for a very inappropriate post I made a day or two ago. I guess I didn't realize the extent of what I was asking, and it made me look like a really big jerk. I'm really not into all of that stuff, I'm still getting used to this wireless business. It's just kinda different (for lack of a better word) when a notification box pops up and asks me if I'd like to join the open network NETGEAR. So, sorry, especially to Allan Sampson -- I think I really made a mistake/made people mad.
Thanks!
