My buddy at work just sold his MacBook Pro, and got a new Toshiba Tablet PC that you can draw on the screen.
It's fucking awesome!!!!!!

So I finally got my macbook shipped and it's a beauty. I never had a mac. I always kinda liked them, but very rarely got to work on one and whenever I did, I felt a relief when returning to windows.
I wouldn't think of buying this one if it wasn't windows capable.
What do I need to know about using macs? Is there a mac for dummies site explaining the basics and differences to a newbie?
A keyboard shortcut cheatsheet maybe, to begin with?

Been using Mac so long i don't even see this option anymore but...
Right up top in Finder. you'll see Help.
click on that. And all your answers will be revealed. When you're ready to track down shareware apps and utilities check back and you shall have them.

Thanks.. I know asking how to use a mac on a designer board is the lamest of questions.. Just wanted to say I got one!
I found a manual in the box, some tutorials on apple.com, and if I get tired, there are windows xp installers in the shop around the corner ;)Just downloaded handbrake and senuti, this will keep me busy for a while..

i'm thinking about getting one but the lame sales guy was trying to tell me that the macbooks video card is crap and would affect performance of PS, Final Cut, Illy, etc.
Can anyone who's running these programs clear this up a little for me?
Thanks!

I got one on Wednesday as an emergency box to replace my PC that went down... just to run windows.... it is brilliant... great screen and really fast.. even in XP... I have an apple screen and bluetooth keyboard anyway that I was using with my dell box... and all of that worked perfectly with my new black macbook... also I go into mac mode for iTunes and handbrake... I managed to rip the 'Crash' dvd onto my ipod in an hour rather than it taing overnight like it did on my Powerbook 12 incher!
This bootcamp is beta and still more stable that most PC apps... I'm loving it!

i don''t really handle big images... and i only use it in xp, and its fine.... i did get a virus the pther day though just after i installed xp... so just did a reinstalll as it was to painful otherwise to get rid of the pop-ups

it just shipped to me during lunchtime, so I didn't have a chance to launch anything yet. I get a registration prompt.. how much private data do I need to give them in order for warranty to work? Is this needed at all?
