Hi guys
First post so hello from me

Treated myself to a sixtieth birthday present, my first ever Mac and it's
a Mac Mini, the cheapest in the range.

Just been delivered so I suppose I should open it up and see what a mess I
get myself into :)

Congratulations on your new purchase. Hope you have fun using it.

You've probably found out by now how it easy it is to setup.

Welcome and enjoy. How did you feel when you opened the box the first time? Did you keep looking for the UPS guy until he came ?

I also recently got my hands on a MacBook Pro, 1st ever mac, just a few days before my 16th birthday.. And switching from Windows was also really easy. And to add some entertainment to my laptop, i installed Bootcamp and Windows XP on my MBP, and there is no problems at all =)

Mac Rocks big time =)

Thanks, I wish it was my 16th again...

It was my 60th
:)

Realy impressed with this Mac having had a few good plays with it


i think some of us read it right. ;)

after all this time you'd still go back to 16?
i'm only 37 and i'd hate to be 16 again. 32 maybe. that was a good age; but definitely not my teens or twenties. :)

Just bought 1st Mac and apparently the courier has dropped it off at home today and I'm here at work for another 5 hours!
Time to see what all the fuss is a bout (and feeling kinda smug and vindicated as my workmate has just bought a Vista Dell, which has one or two issues...he's back on the phone to them today!)
