I went to Apple store and grabbed a Macbook Pro. First mac for me (yes I know not penryn, but not my main computer) and I love it so far. Cant wait to do more exploring and have some fun with it.
I also got a sweet education discount, and a discount on the 3 year apple plan which saved me 310 bucks in all. Not bad.
I was out the door for 2100.
Glad to be a MAC PRO OWNER!

Yea me too. Thanks all, I love it so far. My friend whos a mac expert has been screen sharing with me all afternoon getting me started.

But you'll miss spyware/malware. Sad!
-
do you guys use anti virus or firewalls?
-
No anti-virus here, just using the OSX's built-in firewall which you can find under "Security" in System Preferences. I have also heard good things about "little snitch" for those who are extra paranoid.
-
Congrats, commish. Nice choice.
/considers remark concerning commish's future AW plans . . . -
LOL yeah for the money I could have gone AW, but I decided for NOW to change it up a little. Leopard is awesome.
-
BMW rob what do you have?
Also I have Ichat but it automatically logs in when I click "available" how come that can be changed? -
Congrats on the MBP!
For the firewall/anti-virus program on Mac OSX... not needed. The only time you'll need one is if you load Windows on it (either virtually or through Boot Camp). -
really, no AV at all?

-
What did it cost to move up to 4GB RAM?
-
Sam, I'm kidding, so just a reminder: You may not ban users for joking about MacBooks . . . I hope! -
Congrats thecommish16!

Thanks Sam...I LOVE Iphoto and the book/calendar etc making ability.
What is the "upgrade" about though for ilife? What do I NOT have if I dont have Ilife? -

I love the IWEB too...very cool. I have a website I USED to run in dreamweaver (family site) and I cant wait to remake it. Does the .mac entitle me to a REAL domain name?
Picked up MacBook PRO
