    And I want to thank everybody who answered my questions on this board, i really love this machine, and OSX is simply awesome so far. I have not really done much except play a little WoW, and going from every setting extreme low on my desktop with lame FPS, to max settings with great FPS in some graphics intensive encounts (Kael'THas).

    My only complaints with the MBP so far, probably just due to my ignorance, are as follows:

    1. I am not really sure how to connect to our network's workgroup. I had no probem conenecting to the internet via AirPort, but for some reason I cannot figure out how to join for file sharing and what not.

    2. I am dieing without alt-tab. I am so used to running WoW with Ventrillo, or a web browser open and whatnot, and I feel at a loss.

    3. Force quit? WoW has an issue that when you disconnect mid-encounter, you lag out on reconnection screen. No biggy on my desktop I just force quit WoW through control-alt-delete, and reloaded and I was fine. THe only thing I found I could do on y MBP was shut it off and and turn it back on again. Any thoughts?

    Thats basically it, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Awesome, thanks for the help.

    I am also wonderig what program I should use to get my DvDs-Laptop-Ipod. I took advantage of the deal and got a 30g Color Video Ipod for $50, and I am trying to figure out what program I need to use to do that?

    Also, when myMBP is in sleep mode, is it safe to transport without worrying about the harddrive spinning and whatnot? This is my first laptop too =D
