No worse than I was when I bought mine.  I'd spent 25 years using 
computer interfaces that are not like the Mac, and I've had, and still 
have after 2 years, problems finding things on the Mac.  At this time, 
that's my fault, not Apple's.  But, I'll never go back.   :-)

I've taken some screenshots to help with this message, at least 
hopefully help.   :-)

I took a screenshot of a part of my desktop  This shows you the disk 
drives recognized by my Mac.  Consider these drives to be analogous to 
what you would see if you opened My Computer, and the Hard Disk area of 
the display, assuming you are using the thumbnails display in the My 
Computer window.  (2nd screenshot in the above link).

My internal hard drive has been partitioned into 3 drives, represented 
by 3 silver drive icons labeled System, Data, and testing.  The other 4 
drives are external drives, and have no bearing on the discussion.  I 
suspect you will have just one silver drive, and it may or may not be 
named system.

That one lone drive is the one you want.  Double click on it.  A finder 
window should open, and (hopefully) you'll see a file list similar to 
the third screenshot.

If Lion is the same as Snow Leopard, there will be a Users folder.  This 
is the folder that I'm referring to in step 2 of my previous post.

Does this help you follow my steps?
