My last night on a PC

[Smell The Glove]

Congrats. I'm sure you're going to love it. Just got mine myself.

When the external hard drive and other items I ordered for my MBP arrive with the UPS lady at the exact moment that I'm pulling into the driveway with my new MBP box in hand...well, you know that everything is just coming together perfectly. The planets are aligned.

Guess it helps to know a little about PC's so as not to have to contend with all the problems I see some people talk about when they make the switch. Enjoy your Mac, I like both Mac and PC myself. I've found a peaceful coexistence with both. :yinyang:

Oh no... We haven't heard anything yet.

Two possibilities: girgroupie47 is having too much fun with her Mac or it hasn't arrived yet!

 

[girgroupie47]

yeah I was having too much fun setting up all my stuff, organizing and such. I love everything about it so far. If I have a problem this will be the first place I go. My mom's really jealous, I think she's going to get a mac mini for herself lol.

 

[MacHeadCase]

Cool! Sure am glad you now have it at home instead of in your dreams!

Macs are awesome, I know you'll love it, every last KB of it!!

I've tried, it's not working very well though lol. The only thing I'm having a problem with is trying to learn Xcode, and the stupid Barnes and Nobel near me didn't have any books on the topic. Any suggestions?

Try this for a starting point (I have yet to do much w/ Xcode):

O'Reilly has some good books on OS X. I find that on this side of the Potomac Borders does better wrt computer books, though some Borders stores are better than others.

IF you're serious about programming and need access to lots of books, you might want to consider this:

I have Safari Books through work w/ the "10 slot bookshelf". It works great for me.

Hope this helps!

I'd add these to mathogre's post so you'll have plenty to go on. Good luck!

Apple's Introduction to Xcode Quick Tour Guide and Reference Library.

An Xcode plug-in, Completion Dictionary 4.0.

And I thought you might want to take a look at O'Reilly's MacDevCenter, Programming with Cocoa and (this is a 2004 article so not sure if it will still work, Tiger, Intel-based Macs and all, but here goes...) BYOB: Build Your Own Browser.

I'm so not up-to-date.

Anyway, congrats on your new Mac! Good thing they delivered it on time because I seriously don't know what you'd do if you got it late! :girl:

If ever you encounter any problems, never hesitate to rush to the forums!
