My Mac arrived about 15 minutes ago and boy is it shiny!
You’ll have to forgive me if I vanish for a while as :
– it’s really shiny
– I’ve got to go to a wedding
– did I mention it was shiny?
Welcome to “the gang”.
It’ll be slow at first, but you’ll start to obsess over all things Mac and in few months you realise what you’ve become.
A mac lover type person.
Ugh. π

Let’s see what happens π
I hope to have time tomorrow to start playing with my new toy and I will definitely be playing with it over the weekend.
I’ll post my initial impressions once I have something to base them on – I can’t keep saying “it’s shiny” – even though it is
Of course I am one of those oddballs who likes his ipod nano, but loves his iRiver.. so God only knows how I’ll find a Mac once the shiny factor wears off

I got a MBPro about a year and a half ago – I just got a 24″ iMac delivered yesterday – you are on a slippery slope! Enjoy!
Apparently Quicksilver from Blacktree is teh essential “missing” app – it’s like Launchy for PCs.
Launchy (PC) and Quicksilver (Mac) are apps that let you launch programs faster – though quicksilver is a lot more powerful.
For example, I have launcy on my PC. If I want to open notepad, I go “Alt+Space” to open launchy, then type “N” – notepad comes up. It’s a start menu replacement. http://www.launchy.net/
Quicksilver is Launchy on crack, apparently. http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/
Anyway enjoy… so shiny…
Oh michele,
Did you take the one with the shiny screen or the one without it ? If you have the one without pay attention not just to wipe your screen to clean it. You will probably remove the top layer and you dont want that.
