and its great so far, love the interface and everyone, coming from a 12 year windows user, It is a hell of alot better and easier, imo, I do have a question though, when leopard drops, will I be able to upgrade to that or will I be stuck with Tiger?

For full screen click on the lower right-hand corner of the page and then just drag it to the bottom of the screen.

I am having the hardest time with AIM 4.7 for mac, It litterly does not stay open. Ill get a few ims going, or even one, say a few words back and forth then boom, it exits and tells me to report it or restart it. Why would it be doing this?

AIM is not universal and has issues with Rosetta on Intel Macs.

Download Adium instead.

Use iChat it is built in comes with OSX and fully supports AIM. Welcome to Apple enjoy your stay.

iChat has problems doing video chats but can direct connect. Adium is dodgy about direct connect.

Instead of parallels, if you just want to use it for chatting, check out Crossover Mac and then you can use Trillian or the Windows AIM client right in OS X.

IN windows I dont know. In OSX go to the system prefences (looks like a light switch on the Dock) and change your mouse settings to anything you want.

Yeah I use a Razer Diamonback on my iMac but my wife likes the Apple mouse so when I am not using it the Mighty Mouse is back in. It works fine but not my kind of mouse.
