If you’ve just ventured away from the world of Windows, you have a ton of mental garbage to forget. Just remember, if you’re not sure how to do something on your Mac, just try the simplest, most logical approach and nine times out of ten you’ll be right. There may be things you need to re-learn, but believe me, you’ve just walked from the dark into the light. So, let’s get you started with a few free apps that will make your life simpler and easier than the Mac already does.
