How do you learn Mac OSX?

If you were to get a PC user to buy a Mac :D , and then they ask you how to use it :roll: , what is the best way to show/teach them?

When I ordered my first Mac, I also ordered this (Panther edition, updated twice since then - for Tiger and Leopard)

Once I felt more comfortable using it as a novice, I bought this:

edit: the tuaw link seems very potpouri and not very entry-level. The "Anatomy" video is a nice starting point if you've never seen OS X before.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
