[QUOTE="mike518, post: 316407, member: 9871"] Hey all, So I've been thinking about buying a mac since 2005. I was actually going to but bought a dell instead. Big mistake. So yesterday I took the plunge and ordered a 15.4" MBP, with 160GB HDD, 2GB RAM and a glossy screen. I'm a student so I got the discount, plus a cool case, mac office student edition and a new ipod nano 8gb.. Cost me an absolute arm and a leg. (Although i can get a further rebate on the ipod and mac office). I've been holding off my purchase just in case of an upgrade, but I start university on feb 19 and need it before i move so I had to take the plunge yesterday. I was actually going to get a macbook, but decided not to at the last minute.. it just seemed [U]too[/U] small. I dunno, call me crazy. So anyway, a couple of questions, 1. Having never, [U]ever[/U] used, or even seen a MAC in person, any recommendations on what I should be reading or whatever before it arrives? Obviously I'm not going to know the first thing about it (even though i'm a bit of a whiz on the pc). Haha. I'm a little worried actually, although I have read the "switchers guide to OSX" which was really helpful and i picked out some software I'm going to download. 2. If OSX 10.5 gets released in say, a months time, would I get the upgrade for free? Or is it sorta like, bad luck. 'Cos I'm a 17 year old student who just forked out close to AU$4000, I can't afford to upgrade for about 6 or 12 months. Cheers. *eagerly awaiting my new macbook pro* [/QUOTE]
