Getting a bit sloppy :-) , lots to clean-up & improve on. Crits and feedback is always welcomed.

Some areas of frustration; the 'spinning beach ball' delay (just about every action is affected with a .5 second to 5 second delay...). I remember this issue with Maya 2011 on the Mac, before the service pack there were lots of 'fixes' for this (install Maya on a new user account, run a script, etc.). I'll run the Hot Fix and hope it takes care of this issue.

The Maya windows always remain on top; (example) when I pop open email I see this :-S

As far as I know, I have to move the Maya windows or close them to get them out of the way (doesn't matter which program is currently active, the Maya windows stay on top). 2011 had the same issue.
I don't think this was an issue on the Window systems.

PC or Mac, it doesn't matter to me :^) , but (if the Hot Fix doesn't fix these little issues) I'll shift over to my Windows system and see how Maya 2012 does.

The good news, I've been luv'n the learning. And the users on this forum = AWESOME :^D !
