    The MBP is very nice, you'll be glad you switched.

    There are some links to Mac-PC Switching videos tips in this thread.

    I remember playing the tracking number game. Once I had it, I turned the tracking page into my home page....and I would check it every 30 mins.

    Glad that's over and done with. :D

    Now I know what to look for when I check my order status... groovy. I'm also a first time Mac user. The hardware I'm confident about, but its Mac OSX Tiger that I'm wondering how easily I will adapt to it. Time will tell.

    Congrats!

    dbam, about adjusting to Mac OS X some books are pretty good, and I (in my usual fashion once again :rolleyes:) recommend two articles that really help in transitioning to OS X. Hope it helps!

    I ordered mine on July 13th and today it is prepared to ship! I'm hoping for Friday, but it will probably get delivered on Monday. I'm dying to make the switch!
