    Hi all,

    I made it to NYC. Bought the MAC with me of course. So glad I purchased a mac, it akes travelling a pleasure. Playing WOW, editing pictures, uploading to .mac etc etc.

    I need to get a mouse with some drivers for MAX OS although I have not found anything yet.

    I would like to buy 4GIG of RAM as well. Apple MAC sotre is $1000, i have found a store on 5th Avenue that will do 4G of Corsair for $400.

    Any brand I should be looking at? Corsair is good I beleive. Any stores you reccomend?

    Also, being in this city burns a hole in my pocket. What accessories should I get?

    JR electronics , R train to city hall
    Or B&H 34th st., 9th ave
    I don't know what brands they have in stock, or if they have more than they advertise on their site. They're both very competetive.
    Give em a call. Infact for B&H I highly recommend ordering ahead and picking up. It can be a tad crazy there.

    Well, first off, congrats on your Mac(notice it's not all caps, MAC is something else).

    Pretty much any usb or blue tooth mouse should work right out of the box with OS X. There are a few really high end gaming mouses that loose some button functions, but those are in the $100+ range.

    As for the Ram, pretty much any company that is able to supply 2x2GB of notebook ram will be ok. You may notice a bit of difference between brands if you're really using that much(but I doubt you are). Compare prices here.
