Hi Christy,
Do you actually have a Mac right now?
All the things you mention are done in almost exactly the same way using Windows as they are on a Mac.
Just do not try to do everything as though it was a Windows machine and you will be fine. I'm sure there will be someone there who will show you the basics, something that is difficult to do in a post as you have not mentioned what sort of Mac, what OS and what programs you will be using.
The major differences between the two OS's and machines.
1. One runs 114,000 pieces of virus software, the other doesn't.
2. One has a very secure OS, and the other doesn't.
3. One is capable of running Windows AND the Mac OS, the other isn't.
BTW, that's Mac not MAC. MAC is the abbreviation for Media Access Control address found on most networking devices. ie. NIC cards.

I am familar with the Windows OS, having worked on Win 95, Win 98, Win Me< Win XP Home and Win XP Pro. I will have to spend some time on a MAC, of which I have no experience=ever. I will be grateful for some information on working on the MAC OS, e.g. How to start the computer, Start a program, Save a file, copy a file, etc. or simply, what are the differencees between it and Windows (OS wise) ?
Thanks.
christy.
