does anyone here know of good guides for switching from PC to Mac?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
specifically: what are key ways of navigating in a Mac environment, etc.
oh thanks! A staff member here just switched and I sent her some links, but I didn't find those two.

Feedly, you have crashed on me for the last time. Old Reader, you're up.
The #1 thing I needed when going from PC to Mac is a two-button mouse. And just time for my fingers to learn the different shortcuts. But that depends on how the person normally uses the programs -- if they are used to clicking on File and then Save (for example), they can just keep doing that.
I use a Mac, and I will give up my 2-button mouse when you pry it from my cold, RSI-afflicted fingers.
I literally don't understand how people function with the one-button mouse.
I had a hard time switching to the 2 button mouse because I used macs exclusively until my most recent job. I just used control click.
