Hey my first ever posting to comp.sys.mac.hypercard, I think!

I finally got a demo of all this mac stuff at an Apple Expo here today.

I think this expo has converted me to Mac.

Anyway, onto the topic of discussion.

Director was demo'd and I specifically asked if they had a driver for
Hypercard and the guy said yes.  He also hinted that VideoWorks II has
an upgraded driver for HC.  I didn't ask him where to get it because I
would need to buy a complete system anyway.

Now for some help:  I was really impressed with what the Mac can do
with some of the specialized software of interest to me.  However, I do
not know very much about the Mac as I have spent most of the last four
years in UNIX and Messy_DOS.  Can someone point me in the right
direction for me to find out as much about the Mac as I know about the
PC's and UNIX.  I am not a real tech or systems person just someone who
has had to learn a hell of a lot to survive.  HELP!
