[QUOTE="fiveightandten, post: 311244, member: 24555"] Just FYI...if you're going to spend like $1800 on a Macbook...you can get a refurbished Macbook pro for the same price. Faster processor, bigger screen, nicer keyboard, better graphics card...the RAM is more upgradable, it has the express card slot, the keyboard is illuminated... Not trying to sway your purchase if you want the MB. But FWIW, I went through the same thing a few weeks back and I decided to wait until I had the money for the Pro. Anways... It's a change, but not huge. I work on Macs at work and once you get the hang of it and kick a few small habits, they make a lot of sense. The only thing that bugs me is how windows won't automatically maximize to take up the whole screen. It makes sense that you'd want to have the display be efficient, but i'm a neat freak and I like being able to cover all the stuff i'm not using with the window i'm concerned with. Other than that and getting creative with the Right click function (there's a few options for this), it shouldn't be anything you'll have a problem with. -Nick [/QUOTE]
