Bought my gf a 13.3" 2.26 ghz/2gb/160gb hdd MBP last friday, she upgraded it to the 4gb/250/2.53 ghz model, and bought Parallels for her.
Got everything installed (Parallels, Win XP, Civ 3, Office 2008, Onyx, VLC, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc).
And other than email and ebay, she won't use it because she's afraid of damaging it/it's too different
What's the best way to ease someone into using their own Mac; that is....someone who is coming from a life long PC use pattern? She has a one to one appointment with a Mac Genius for video editing, and I'm hoping that will spark things, but can anyone think of anything else? Are there any good freeware photo editors out there that can work with iphoto libraries?
thanks for any advice

(seeing all of these icons on the dock kinda freaks her out)
