haha, I'm sorry for so many unrelated questionsThis thread should be renamed "The Official DJAKO Questions Unrelated to Each Other Thread"
The notebook locks on Apple's web site and/or at the Apple store should work fine.
Thanks for being so helpful you guys.
No. Macs come with a program called Preview that, among other things, reads PDF files (and quite fast compared to Acrobat, on either a PC or Mac). Also, Mac OS X comes standard with the ability to create PDF files from any program, simply by going to File -> Print, and clicking on the "PDF" button in the printer dialog.
Before you install any third party programs, its always a good idea to just try and open a file and see if it works. If it doesn't, then ask here.
Quite the opposite: you should only run off your battery when you absolutely need to. Have your computer plugged it at all times possible.
Your computer is intelligent, it will know when your battery is fully charged, stop charging it, and run off the power adapter. The more you use your battery over time, the less power it holds. If you use your battery constantly, in 4 or 5 years or so your computer will barely be able to run off the battery for a half hour.
Ok good, that's what I always do
I always leave it plugged in when in my room. Just in class it runs on the battery.
You have been very helpful. Thank you
djako gl with your new mac, I am getting my first one soon too. I will probably have just as many questions as you do.
But I have been on here reading and asking questions for awhile now. Everyone here seems so helpful and kind.

Make sure you calibrate the battery every couple of months to keep it in good health. I'd suggest making an effort to get the charge down low once in a while too just to keep the battery "moving." Batteries like to be used so every now and then make an effort to put your laptop through its paces unplugged.
I know the menu you mean, and in Safari there is one, however... funny story... My GF (Who at this point had never used a Mac) decided to look at what id been looking at on the net and she got that menu up, only thing is, I cant remember how... lemme work on that one. I'd never seen the bloody thing before
closed lid mode
To get the display output when the lid is closed you need to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse it will automatically output with any input. It should work with usb keyboard and mouse, but I have never used that way.
