Macbook usage?

So I work in an IT department and was given a 15" Macbook to familiarize myself with so I could start supporting them soon... Things like how to use and configure OSX, different keyboard shortcuts etc are pretty well documented. I'm just hoping you guys could answer a couple of small things I can't find anywhere:

I disabled drag-lock on the touchpad. Whenever I tap to drag, the bloody thing still locks onto it unless the cursor sits still for a second or I click. THAT IS DRAG LOCK and there it is on whether I turn it on or off. How do I kill this thing so I can double-tap to drag without everything sticking to my cursor? (These training wheels make it hard to move... there's no mouse acceleration option either! ><)

Also on every PC laptop I've used, the "Fn" key is for activating special functions mapped to normal keys - like brightness control, battery status, external monitors, etc... On the Macbook, it doesn't work for any of these things, but the special functions mapped to the F keys work with ctrl, sometimes option/command, or without any modifier keys at all! ...so why have a Fn key? They can't be using it exclusively for the numpad???

Other than that and apps locking up so often it's like Win 3.1, it's pretty nifty so far. It's certainly easy to pull off a lot of fancy graphical effects like instant pixel-smoothed screen zooming without slowdowns. I can see how people can like these things - I've just never had a good reason to use one in the past...

Use?  A Mac?  Hahahaha, Macs are for looking at, not using.

Correct, they did it on Mythbusters.

Yeah yeah... you realize you're being as much of a dick as those "Oh ho ho! Macs don't GET viruses because they're made perfectly!" crowd, right?

I don't care so much what platform I use if it works, but the story's true. I've got to fix a bunch of these soon so they gave me one and went "use this to learn!" and I'm having fun so far... it just has some weird conventions and really annoying unconfigurable habits. I have a PC laptop I actually own and whenever I double-tap drag the touchpad it drops the instant I let go - if I need to drag farther, I just drag to the edge of the pad and it scrolls... so far that's kicking Apple's way of sticking down for a couple seconds after every single time - after being told not to.

Bullshit (often bowdlerized to BS), also Bullcrap, is a common English expletive. It can also be shortened to just "Bull".

Most commonly, it describes incorrect, misleading, false language and statements. Literally, it describes the feces of a bull. As with many expletives, it can be used as an interjection (or in many other parts of speech) and can carry a wide variety of meanings.

Bullshitting is usually when one makes statements that are false, or made-up. Usually people describe other people's action of making a lot of statements as bullshitting in arguments, when one is making up rules or making examples that are not anything to do with what they are discussing or when one is making statements by using examples that need different rules to be applied, so this person is bullshitting

As it contains the word "shit", the term is sometimes considered foul language, hence the use of the euphemistic abbreviations "bull" and "BS". Nonetheless, the term is prevalent in American English and, as with many words, the term is used in a variety of countries, some dating back to approximately the same era World War I. In British English, bollocks is a comparable expletive, although bullshit is now a commonly used expletive in British English also.
