Hi All,

I am busy preparing to start working with a Mac at work - in addition to my old PC.

Just wondered, is it difficult to setup the Mac to run on the office network - i.e. does it need any special settings or servers or anything like that? and also printers...can I use the network printer as normal.

I am just pottrying to think ahead of any ential issues.

Also share drives...will I be able to access share drives and my backups to these shares drives - all a bit daunting!

Btw in case you didn't notice I am a Mac Nube lol

Is there a way to adjust the scaling of items on the screen in Mac OS X so they are 1 to 1 with the real world? I.E.
