those easter eggs were cool. I just blew my whole studio's minds with that ctrl, alt, apple, 8 one!

I kinda envy you.. bought a mac almost two months ago and still cannot convince myself to make OSX my main system, even contemplate moving my windows from parallels to bootcamp to make it more OSX independent.
OSX is less responsive than XP and has font issues. Major ones, if you ask me. Say goodbye to kerning if you turn smoothing off. I do webdesign and need to see what the users see - no chance on the mac.
Photoshop crashes too often (bridge crashes always) and just yesterday evening whole system froze for a few minutes.
It's a beautiful piece of hardware and I'd buy it again, but not if it hadn't intel in it.
I'll keep trying :)

8) Apple tab = can't do that on a pc.
isn't it, like, alt+tab?
