Hello,
Just looked over the site and it looks great! Sites like MR and My First Mac will make coming to a new Mac a very nice and helpful experience for those in need of info. There are times when my girlfriend has questions and I'm not around so to have someone feel like they empowered their Mac skills from using such sites is great :D
Very fresh looking site (love the color choices) and the comment input is a nice touch. I'll put this in my bookmarks and let others know just where to go to start their Mac life ;)
Keep up the good work and good luck!

Very nice! Color choice is refreshing :) Sure will recommend this site to newcomers. ;)

This is NOT my first Mac, but I learned something instantly about sending to group "mailing lists" using Address Book Groups with Mail:

"If you haven't started an email message yet, you can control-click (right-click) on the group name [in Address Book] and select "Send Email to __" and Mail will start a message with the addresses already inserted. Another way to do this is to is to start a new email as you normally do and instead of typing someone's name in the To: field, start typing the group name. It should start to fill in the rest for you.

Now, sometimes you may not want all the addresses in your group showing. Instead, you can just have the name of the group in the To: field. To enable this option, go to Mail menu>Preferences>Composing and make sure "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" is not selected."

Now throw in the fact that Address Book can create "smart groups" and you've got a lot of power I didn't realize was even in OS X.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not sure that this website is standards compliant. I can't get it to render properly in any browser. I've tried Opera, Firefox, Camino, and Safari. Tips are pretty good though.

It looks fine in my Firefox and Safari.

Fine here in Safari 2 and FF.

It does not accommodate browser width well at all in Safari.

The RSS is a nice touch. The articles seem to be fairly good.

The information the site gives is great :) Great job putting it all together.

I might well be in the minority here - I do not particularly care for the ascetics of the site. The logo is awful and the colors, while "fresh and new", are used way to much to make them effective. Sometimes less is more. No strike that - in web design less is always more IMO :)
