    I don't have a Mac yet, but I may possibly get one soon. If I had a MacBook/MacBook Pro, I would:

    • Hug it
    • Surf the internet
    • Fry eggs (or is that the MacBook Pro?)
    • Boil water
    • Play frisbee with Cori with it :D
    • Listen to music
    • Make websites with Dreamweaver
    • Test out TextEdit
    • Use Microsoft Office for Mac (after realizing TextEdit just isn't enough)
    • Wish Microsoft updated MSN Messenger for Mac more often
    • Display it proudly
    • Type on it
    • Test the processor power
    • Clean it like every two minutes
    • Try out iWeb (Although I use Dreamweaver)
    • Listen to more music
    • Clean it again
    • Edit some movies with iMovie
    • Burn a DVD with iDVD
    • Try to find somewhere to put Apple Remote
    • Fool some friends into thinking Apple Remote is iPod Shuffle
    • Flaunt it
    • Hug it more
    • Clean it again
    • Type out this list again when I get a MacBook
    • Store all my photos using iPhoto
    • Worry that my Mac may possible be infected with a virus because I have no AntiVirus even though its a Mac
    • Dare my Mac to crash :p
    • Try out Boot Camp
    • Take goofy pictures with iSight camera
    • Delete them with Photo Booth
    • Edit them in Photoshop (before I delete them)
    • Clean it again
    • Test out its networking capabilities
    • Try to outwit Spotlight (Hah! You couldn't find that! :p)
    • Customize it to my likings

    How's that? I'll think up more later :D.

    General usage - web surfing, playing music, watching videos/dvds, IM, IRC, mail, handling photos (Aperture is NICE) and so on... a little gaming on the Mac side too. If I ever have time I'll poke around with Xcode some.

    I also installed Windows XP on it through Boot Camp solely for playing games - EverQuest, Guild Wars, Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, etc. Everything but games I do on the Mac OS X side though.

    And yes, I do try to keep it spotless :D
