Today is a good day...

When I get home today I will have a new toy waiting. Now it won't technically be mine but my wifes but this is again a technicality. Thanks to the fine tax payers of the school district she works in this coming year every teacher and student in the high school (about 350 people total) are getting MacBooks :-D So of course I will HAVE to play with it so I can help her out if she has trouble with it. I'm sure it will take me at least two hours to figure out how to get it on the internet... ;)

I hear that Safari is almost as good a tool as IE8... at downloading Firefox. :-\
Oh, I was being sarcastic. I'm hoping the IT guy at the school would be smart enough to install such things ahead of me. Hard to say though because I think Apple setup all the machines for him.

Yeah, my biggest thing will be looking for the right mouse button... :)

Ctrl + Click, assuming the built in mouse pad doesn't have some support for it - the new Apple Mouse has this for the last couple of years. How long are you going to wait before you install Windows?

Well, seeing as how it's technically tax payer property I'm not sure I'm allowed to work my magic on it. Also I'm not sure it won't already come with Windows on it. Seeing that it's coming almost directly from Apple though I'm doubting it will... :)

That reminds me of a joke I heard a little while back. A Mac user and a Windows user were having an argument about which was better. "What can you do that I can't?" said the Mac user. The Windows user thought for a moment, then spoke. "Right click"

Even better, on the newer generations, tap with two fingers! I love this OS.

pffffft The 9400 in the macbook pro is >6x slower than a single top line mobile card. Apple's been targeted by lawyers in the past because they claimed in marketing that their laptop LCDs had the same specs as the high end IPS panels in their top of the line desktop display/imacs despite being the same crappy 6bit TN panels that every other mainstream laptop maker used. http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=578&card2=588[^] http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/18/apple-macbook-macbook-pro-screens-subject-of-class-action-lawsu/[^]

Glad to hear it, since I do Windows as my norm. Linux when I'm forced. Mac, never, as it turns out.
