Welcome to the Forum. I think you're the first person I've heard of that has actually been MORE familiar with mac OS then Windows, LOL.

Just curious, have you never owned a PC?

You can create your rig to add to your signature (like mine)
Here

Once its built, you'll have to add it to your Signature,

- Navigate to "My Profile"
- Scroll down / find on page : "Edit Signature Text"
- You'll have three drop-downs labeled " Show off stuff in your signature".
- Scroll down on one of three drop downs and select your rig
- Submit

Doing this will help us help you in the future, if you have a problem
