Font looks blurred in firefox?

Hi Guys

Just got my Macbook and been playing with it

Fantastic bit of kit, already ordered a 2gb RAM upgrade....

One thing I noticed next to my XP laptop is that OcUK forum (example) font looks like it's in bold or slighty blurred??

It has a fresh copy of Leopard on it?

Is this right? If so fine I can live with it

Thanks

That's normal.

OS X uses Font Smoothing which makes it look different to Windows, you will get used to it

Cool

Thanks Justin had a slight panic up there... lol

I need to sit down and start reading as much as I can, as I'm a total novice when it comes to Mac's but I'm eager to learn as much as I can as soon as I can

I'll be about in the Mac forums lots now asking stuff and reading up!!

Safari it is then....

Any good books I could read on Leopard OSX to get me going?

*Novice alert*

I downloaded firefox last night (although I'm not going to use it now) but I have a 0kb firefox file on my desktop now and I can't get rid of the damn thing? If I try and drag it to the recycle bin it say's unable to eject?

Any idea's..

Restart usually helps stuff like this. Tried that?

TBH no but I didn't use it last night, waiting to put in the 2gb RAM upgrade today

I'll see what happens tonight and post back

Well I must say the more I use this Macbook the more I love it

I've had a look at the switcher sticky and downloaded and installed a few things, but can I ask what is the preferred DVD playing application is? VLC?

Thanks guys
