everythings installed now and mac OS is quite fun. it gotta take me a while getting used to the filestructur of everything tho, quit messy so far. tryed logic too just now and it so incredbile easy to use. i think the mini is abit too weak tho. im gonna install reason to compare.

It took me about a week to really get comfortable with OSX. Finder is weaker in comparison to Explorer indeed, but nothing major. Give it some time and I think you'll love OSX soon enough.

lol at the dock

Are you using Leopard or Tiger? The dock in Leopard is teh ugly!
Anyway, put only the really necessary stuff in the dock. For all other things --> Spotlight.
Command + Spacebar combo is your best friend here.

osX version 10.5.5 dont know whether thats leo or not, i thought tiger was old?btw i use a HP keyboard so Command button is unknown lol. I used the mini on a small halloween party yesterday using front row and the remote, that was brilliant. Itunes too works sooo much better on mac somehow, that it does on PC. so mac mini is definitily good imo.
If i can use it to produce still have to see. The demos in reason seems to go fine, but havent had time testing my own projects yet. No more news on logic either as i havent had time.

10.5.5 is Leopard. It replaced Tiger about a year ago. I haven't bothered upgrading as it works just fine for me now. No Command? Hehe, maybe the most important key on a Mac
iTunes better be working better on a Mac as they're both Apple. Nice to hear you like it so far.

COMMAND should be same as WIN on pc keyboard.

any way to test this`? a simple function or something. WIN+Space did only result in a alert sound.

Not necessarily. For example 'select all':
on PC = ctrl + a
on Mac = command + a
So Command isn't used in the same way as WIN.
I think that the OSX COMMAND is the equivalent of the WIN CTRL. Although Mac also has a CTRL button. Confusing eh?

Palm: Try ctrl + space and see if Spotlight (top right corner, magnifying glass) pops open. Worth a try. Or open up texteditor type some text, WIN + a, and see if it selects all of the text.

i think i disabled that option but WIN+A selected all so it works it seems. nice to know. ok ill update this post once ive got some logic experience, no mather what im happy with it so far and what it does for me (front row and itunes is awesome).

btw how to remove external disks safely, i tried to eject it from the desktop but it still runs. can mac write on FAT32? ntfs was no luck, but reading worked nicely. is fat32 slower somehow?

COMMAND on osx acts like CTRL on win, but if u have a pc keyboard connected to mac, then WIN = COMMAND. if u want the CTRL act like COMMAND u can change it somewhere in preferences.

note that when u get a real mac keyboard the WIN/COMMAND and ALT switch places. so might wanna do something about it.

for now i keep it as it is, WIN+C, V, X is realy all i need for now.

what i need to know now is how to format a external disk to a format that OSX can write on.

thanks for all the answers in this hijacked logic thread which i realy dont know what was about in the first place.
