    Just wanted to let everyone know that I wound up getting a Black MacBook. I think I'm gonna be really happy with it. I'll post a mini-review and some pics for you guys. Thanks to everyone who helped in the decision!

    PS. Can someone tell me how to install an application? I DL Firefox and it mounts the image as a removable drive or something...I got a long way to go with OS-X!

    Install Firefox on Mac Video Guide

    After you're finished, eject the drive and delete the .dmg file. You can then drag the Firefox icon from your Application folder to your Dock to create a Shortcut.

    Agreed, this is a very basic Mac function. There's no need to gunk up the forum when the answers are so readily available.

    You have a shorter journey than you think. You'll have it down in a week! The fastest way to learn it is to NOT compare how it works against Windows.

    I actually type them out every time :p. I remember the exact URL nowadays after typing it so many times.

    And yes Ditton, it'd be great if you gave us your thoughts on the new iLife.

    I'd be glad to, it may take a week to get it all down to give you guys a proper idea of it but yes I will try to.

    Also could someone tell me really quickly how long I have with apple to get the 3 year apple care package? (Can't find it when I search!) Thanks!

    Well that's the best news I've had all day. Beats ponying up $400CDN for the 3 year at BestBuy! Now I'll buy 2GB of RAM instead.
