How do I use this crazy Apple computer?

Question

I'm at my brother's house and he has a mac and I've never even touched one before. I finally found "Safari" but what I am finding annoying is that it suddenly grays out on web pages and I have to click to make it active again. What am I doing? Am I hitting some magic mouse button that I don't know is a mouse button? How do i right-click? And where the heck is the computer? I can't find the tower to plug my USB in! AHHH CHANGE! I can't handle you!

Someone give me the basics of running this whacky thing. There is no start button! I am nothing without a start button! Where is My Computer! I'll even take an iComputer or iInternet Explorer. So many i's! I'm not used to having my operating system be logical. I want my tried and true ***-backwards Windows.

iAhhh!

First of all you did not specify what kind of Mac are you using, secondly the mice doesn't have a left and a right clicker. Mac is so simple to use the apple logo that is on the upper lefthand of the screen is actually your start up botton, everytime you click a command you can asked your computer for help by going to the help window located at the upper middle part of your screen. There it will tell you everything you need to know about that command.
