O.P. Shocked  Mac Issues (HELP!)
Hey everyone!

Well here I am, finally have an internet connection. For those who are wondering (which is.... no one) I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania now at Carnegie Mellon University (where i just learned will have a "Gates Building" in the next couple of years after a donation by Mr. Bill)

Anyhoo... I've got a large problem and that's my computer... I just got a mac and I never used one before... it's driving me nuts :p

I have several questions, first, if you can link me to sites with tutorials for OS X that would be awesome, I found a lot but most are either for NEW features or really simple... I need some type of user manual for OS X (which I'm surprised isn't offered with the computer but oh well)

I also have more specific questions...

I tried installing 3 programs and all 3 trials ended in a huge disaster...

1.

I installed Firefox (which is SLOOOOOOOOW and keeps crashing!?!?!?!?!) but now it's on the desktop as a removable drive and not under "applications" .... one word: wtf.... Now it even disapeared from the finder under HD (I tried dragging it into applications and its gone now)

2.

I installed Messenger for Mac... and well SAME THING!!! (except its still under HD)

3.

I forgot what else I installed but ill try to remember...

Oh and is there anything similar to add/remove programs on macs... I accidently installed an office demo...
