Hi,

iLiad just arrived, very excited, about to set it up to work with my MacBook, running OS X 10.5.2. (Keen to divest myself of as many physical books as possible as quickly as possible.) I'm wondering what other users, esp Mac-savvy folk, would recommend as must-do/must-have/must-remember advice? Anything you wish you'd been told? Any software you can't live without? Any shortcuts to remember, etc? Hacks/patches/ware that work well for Macs?

Apologies if I'm missing some obvious things. In an attempt not to waste people's time I have spent days looking around all the fora, but I'm bound to have missed some stuff, and a lot of the coolest stuff you can do with the iLiad seems pretty techie, which, while I'm a competent Mac user, I'm not at all. (So if your advice contains lines that look like code I'm likely to panic. I know, it's pathetic, I know...)

Very grateful for any thoughts.
