Hi. I am just about to make the switch (waiting for a check to get the powerbook). My only exposure to a mac is when I was a kid, a cousin gave me his apple laptop..i cant remember what it was but it was quite small, black and white screen but grey body. Extremely heavy battery. Anyway Ive pretty much always been a windows user. I like to keep my computer organized with different folders for different purposes and even different partitions for different purposes. I was reading a review of OSX on anandtech where the author says that you should keep everything in the 'home' directory because it makes it simpler. An equivalent to that would be (in my opinion) to put everything in the windows folder including mp3s, games etc. That just seems a bit ridiculous to me from the windows standpoint. Could some one please clear this out for me. I would also appreciate any advice on this matter, as in do you guys partition ur hdrives etc. Thanks
