    I'm excited! My ram came today from Crucial, so that made me anxious haha. I've never used OS X for more than 10 minutes ever, but I did like it. We'll see how it goes.

    Congrats cycloneguy :). You'll have a great time switching. I'll just recommend two articles that are very good in helping with the transistion from Windows to Mac. Because considering you don't spend more than 10 minutes on OS X, I'm guessing you're not too familiar with the whole Mac OS X jazz yet :D.

    Here ya go. Enjoy your new MacBook Pro! :)

    Double Congrats! Very happy 4 ya and a bit jealous! It's always fun to get something new. Let us know if you have any questions and don't let anyone tell you that there's no software on Mac. It already comes with the fantastic iLife suite. If you need software suggestions just ask anyone here.

    Thanks Sam, but I had already read those from when you posted them in another thread. They were very helpful.

    It's here! I pretty much love it. The two-finger scroll is different but I'm getting used to it.

    Crucial. I haven't put it in yet, I will later though.

    So far I'm loving the thing.
