Well, I did it. I switched. I just placed my order for a Brand new Mac Pro, 2.8 ghz, 2gig ram, 500gbHardDrive Nvidia Geforce 88--GT 512mb graphics card with Final Cut Express pre-loaded. The order was placed @ 9:00pm tonight. I also purchased a Dell 2408WFP Flat Panel Monitor for the Mac.
I'm very Excitied

just you wait.....they won't be able to get you away from that thing for at least a couple days strait. lol

Yeah, you definitely should be excited. After like... 10 years of using windows and hating mac, I switched. Just got my new macbook pro today. I've had ZERO problems doing anything with it so far. The worst issues I've had thusfar is the no right clicker, but once you remember to just command click it's easy. Everything has worked awesome.

I hope you get it soon

And then let us know how you like it.

Don't forget you can go to System Preferences | Click Keyboard & Mouse | Choose the Trackpad Tab| and under Trackpad Gestures check the box beside "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click"

This will allow you to right-click easier by using two fingers on the trackpad. Good luck <><

Maybe it's just me, because I heart Macs and dislike PCs, but isn't it so much more exciting when you get a new Mac computer?

It really is, for a few reasons, one of 'em being the much more elegant packaging second being you don't have to dread getting it set up, installing drivers and what not, you turn it on, get the awesome intro video fill in a few quick forms and your set, no drivers to install, no internet to set up, no problems
