(The laptop never, EVER connects to the internet, since Windows machines are so vulnerable to sniffles, colds, and death-by-virus.) I love the Apple stuff because it's a solid OS - if it's buggy, it doesn't go in the machine. None of this "patch" stuff! (Oh, did I mention? Finally finished SotS-II - it's SOOOOOOOO lovely! I'll try to get decent pics up this week!) We have a Mac at home, with a Dell laptop if we *must* use a Windows product.

Life will be lively at your house! My MacBook is about a week old (although it's the white version). Do *not* underestimate the challenges of the new OS . . . and I keep finding more reasons to keep going with this transition. The first bits are easy, which is a blessing. Then I have gotten into how powerful the system is, which means even more to learn. I have found fantastic additional software as well. Yes, for the Missing Manual. There's a Switching to the Mac version (which I have from the library right now) and the Mac OSX Leopard one, which I bought with a discount coupon a couple of days ago. Friends have supplied me with a long list of "switching to the Mac" web sites. Let me know if you would like them. There's a lot of info on the Apple site itself. Enjoy. . . .

Now you need one more thing. The Missing Manual, http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-Missing-Manual/dp/059652952X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227895674&sr=8-1. We had the Panther version. My husband has had Mac's since the old old days of Apple. He swears by this manual. When we got my laptop and his new desktop, we bought the Leopard version. It's great for looking up how-to's.

I have had my MacBook Pro for a little over a year, and it's one of the best things I've ever purchased. I remember the day it arrived. You described the experience of opening it to a tee! My kids and I ooohhhed and aaaahhhheeeed. Have fun and enjoy! It won't take long before you're zipping along! Oh…so pretty!
