Nice work Timmy. Great to see you have done a lot of exploration of the OS in the few days you have had it.

I’ll be learning stuff soon and I have been using it nearly 4 yrs.

You can also create disk images from Roxio Toast Titanium… if you have it.

I find disk images useful for chucking onto thumb drives when I want to move data around and keep it all nicely packaged.

Hey thanks for the feedback people, glad you are liking the videos!

If anyone has a favorite piece of software for OS X that you want others to know about, drop a comment on the blog and I’ll try and showcase it for a quick tip.

Probably worth thinking about some web services walk through’s or perhaps setting some hidden features for a particular site – eg: Google Mail. Or maybe some Firefox Hacks – like forcing a new tab on using the search box.

Just so that there is something for everyone

And for Windows users there’s Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/).

A free utility for mounting disc images in Windows.

(sorry if this got a mention in Quick Tip #2, I didn’t watch because I don’t have a Mac)

@Matt yup it was mentioned. I don’t have a Mac either – it was just cool to watch and take a look at how things work on the Mac – but it was also pretty funny. Thanks for the input though. Appreciated.
