But it turned out that something I compiled complained that I was using TL2009 and that I should be upgrading (I've forgotten now what it was), hence the upgrade the other day.

Howdy,

A lot to adjust to indeed. If you were used to Windows before it'll take a while just to undo ``bad'' habits and then learn the ``Mac Way'' of looking at the world. As far as TeX is concerned at some point you'll probably want to learn some Terminal (Command Line) stuff to fully understand some of the system but one thing at a time.

Good Luck,
