MacBook

Here it is, our new addition!

I just couldn't wait until Monday, so on our Saturday morning of errands we zipped down to FedEx's distribution center and picked it up.

There is still a lot to learn.  It's just different enough from my Dell to make a few things frustrating, but I can already tell how some things are going to be so much easier.

What made me change loyalties?  I was never unhappy with my Dell, but I was never thrilled with it either.  I've heard so from so many people who clearly love their Macs for various reasons that I thought I'd make the switch and see what I thought.  

Anyway, here I sit with a pretty zippy little MacBook which, I don't end up loving for its performance (which I think I will), I'll sure end up loving how cute and compact it is.

Excuse any errors as I get used to the new machine (which I'm composing this post on-- we'll see how it looks!).

Have fun with it! I'm a bit jealous, but still have almost a year to go on my Dell's "extended warranty" period (covers practically everything, including throwing it across the room). Then we'll see...

Alex,

Not that I really know what any of this means but my specs are:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo

Operating system: Mac OS X Leopard

RAM: 4GB but, apparently, it's a double layer drive (whatever that means) and each have 2GB

Hard drive: 250 GB

Perhaps you can give me a tutorial on what all that means and if it's good or bad. :)

Looks very good indeed.

Be sure to find a windows emulator so you can run all of your favorite games and applications.

now you're officially cool. i'm terribly jealous. you know we're in the market 4 a laptop, and i'd go mac in a heartbeat, but my photoshop is on my windows platform, so i believe i'm stuck.

TF, you're right, you are stuck. That's hands down the worst thing about "going Mac". Congrats to you, Cait! You have the same book that I have. You'll love if you already don't. You seriously will never "go back". Congratulations!!!
