My first attempt after leaving the PC world to upload an image using my new MacBook. It only me 3 hours to learn how to do it. Apple's web-browser, Safari, cannot download images from the internet, as far as I can see.

So I turned to Firefox to save the image. That took ages, as I had to change the settings on the mouse in order to activate the right click function. Bloody hell!. Then there is no cut and past function. More bloody hell.
So I gave up trying to unlearning old habits and went and took some photos. I just needed to step away from my frustration into a different space.
Update: 27 July
I have learnt enough about the Apple operating system to to be able to function in a basic manner--ie; to be to do my weblogs, work online, and my emails. It required a new mouse and keyboard to achieve this functionality.

Hi Gary
safari definitely saves images :)
You can ctrl-click the image...
or you can turn on the trackpad preferences in system preference that let's you use a two-fingered tap to do a right click
a few more trackpad/mouse options are in system preferences and some other options also in safari preferences (like tabbed browsing) are good to turn on.
apple often leaves things off by default to make it easy for people new to computers. i find it a bit anachronistic these days but guess i see the point.
at least they think about it.
cheers
