Hey, I got one. My PC was having yet more issues a few Sundays ago. I had to download the OS again, and lost a ton of stuff, then couldn't get back on the internet. I was so over it, I called Apple. I ordered the Mac Book Pro. I had no idea they were coming out with a new one. So a few days after I ordered mine, they sent me an email telling me they automatically upgraded my order to the new one. It's here, I love it. Never going back to PC!

Welcome. It's so nice isn't it? Let me know if you need any help.

Here's a tip, get a good external drive and then use time machine to back up your system. I'd also recommend using Carbon Copy Cloner to make an exact clone of your hard drive. That way, if anything ever happens you'll be able to pick up right where you left off.

Thanks! Those are very welcome tips! I've been getting my whole Itunes mess straightened out ( had every song in triplicate, LOL). I have an EHD, thankfully. Otherwise, I'd be screwed.
So far I do love it. I don't think I'll ever go PC again. I mostly just use it for writing and burning cd's and cruising the internet, but hoping to use it to stream to TV (so I can get rid of cable).
