switching to Mac/ what to expect

[wrldwzrd89]

All you had to do was ask
Here's your answer:
Command-select your set of folders/files
Right-click on the selected folders, and hold Your Control key. You'll see the right-click menu change from Get Info to Get Summary Info.
That will show you the number of files, and space used of the selected folders, all in one window. Not EXACTLY the same as what you may see in MS Windows, but maybe it's close enough.

I think it's the Option/Alt key that does this, not Control... otherwise, that is correct.

After 20 years of using window's and playing with Linux a bit lately i'm buying a Mac. What can i expect as far as confusion. Remember, 20 years of window's so be gentle.

I am also a recent convert. The only main conversion issue is the difference between finder and explorer. I am used to always having folders on top no matter what I am sorting on. Fortunately there are apps such as xtra finder.

Otherwise, extremely smoote transition.

I received a new Mac Mini for Christmas. For the 1st couple of hours I felt a bit overwhelmed. Two days in, and I'm feeling much more confident.

I got a copy of MacFormat's Switch to Mac magazine and it's really helpful. I also watched some Lynda videos, but they were mostly a snooze fest. I Googled "switch to mac" and found a lot of helpful articles, but the magazine was by far the biggest help.

I'm really glad I made the switch, even if it did make me feel really dumb for the 1st couple of hours. Do it! You won't regret it!
