Mac Support sources

[poprockgrrl.livejournal.com]

I just got a job at a university with a mixed PC/Mac environment. The only Mac experience I have is at home and even that is pretty limited. The people who interviewed me know this.

Does anyone know of some good sources to
1. Learn everything about OSX in a short time frame.
2. Sources online where I can look once I've started the job and issues come up?

Thanks!

The Bible

Saw your post on a friend's friends list (Audigy). I have done a lot of tech support for Macs in the past and the single most valuable resource I can point you to is the Mac OS Bible. This is a series of books for most versions of the Mac OS and they are absolutely wonderful. Below is a link to the OS X Jag version at Amazon.

Hope it helps.

Thanks! I haven't had to deal much with Mac issues since the one at home pretty takes care of itself. That book looks like it's just what I need. :)
