[QUOTE="dannibabe, post: 958693, member: 134948"] Hi, i'm so excited to be getting a Macbook Pro 15 inch 2.66 GHz after Christmas!! I've never owned a Mac before so it's a whole new world to me. I was hoping for a bit of advise. The main thing i'm wondering about is the Wi-Fi. At home i currently have a PC and a laptop (both Windows), in my bedroom i have my PC, which is connected to my router (speedtouch) which then connects to the phoneline in my bedroom. I was wondering if i will still be able to use this setup with my Macbook? Or will i need a different router? Also, how easy is it to get used to using a Mac when switching from Windows? I've had a play around on one in the Apple store (it was amazing, i didn't want to leave it!) but i'm a bit confused on how you close down programmes, like on windows you can minimize it and close it with the red cross, how do you do this on a Mac? I was going to ask them about this when i went in the store but it was so busy. Thanks in advance for your help! :D [/QUOTE]
