I'm sure there will be more, but i just realized there are little "glow dots" in the dock to indicate an app is running.
I recently got my first every Mac a few weeks ago. If you are new to Apple computers as I am, you should check out Mac OS X Leopard for Dummies. It's ironic that I just read about this before I put the book down to see what was going on here. I have read about one tenth of the book and have already learned alot.
That's one of the things a new Mac user has to get used to. When you close a program window in Windows, that usually shuts down the program. When you do that using a Mac, the program is usually still running, so check your "dots" to make sure!
