Hi, just got my mac last week, been using windows since forever. It's definitely a pleasure and exciting experience to us Mac OS. However there was a problem, I like to put my files on the desktop, but I couldn't figure out how to check the size of them. Could you guys help me pls.
Cheers

Also, note that since Snow Leopard came out (latest OS released Sept. 09)....that OSX reports file sizes using decimal rather than binary calculations (ie: 1 kilobyte = 1,000 bytes rather than 1,024 bytes as it is calculated in every other operating system). So file size may appear slightly different in OSX vs Windows.

If your a keyboard junkie you can also select the item (but don't open) then hit cmd+I, which brings up the get info window.
a
ps you can also use finder. Just make sure you have the size column activated. Hit cmd+J to bring up the finder view preferences.
