Default I'm using my girlfriends MAC right now...

Yeah, it's really bloody nice. I despise the mouse though... one button? WTF!? My logitech has SEVEN buttons, PLUS the scroll wheel. I mean, apple is clearly trying to be wierd, for the sake of being wierd... but one button? Imagine not being able to right click... argh, it kills me! BUT, the thing is sooo nice otherwise. Way more attractive and clean.

AF looks good browsing with Safari!

PS: anybody offer any help with this crazy machine?

if you have a usb mouse you can use it...and apple made a right click function for it too. that was my main gripe about the apples too....that, and the whole, mac OS thing...

the one I've used the mouse only had one button and you press the whole mouse not a button, takes some getting used to.

"the MAC OS thing" is THE reason to use a MAC.

Junior has a MAC mini. it's f-ing great.

Yeah the Mac OS is far superior to windows... that is for damned sure. This thing is unfallable... it never crashes. Pretty cool.

And like I said, it is SO much nicer, aesthetically.

I want tiger though. And I want Office.

EDIT: and that is really good news about the mouse! I think I'll be snagging one ASAP.

I'm a HUGE Apple fan. I've stuck with them through OS9 and the introduction of OSX. I design all of my websites and do all of my video editing on my Powermac's while I've got the 17" powerbook to lug around. I would NEVER EVER go back to a PC. Mac's are soooo much better.

If you need any help with anything, let me know, I would consider myself to be an Advanced Mac User, so that basically equates to me having graduated 8th grade, but seriosuly, if you need any help on anything, let me know. BTW, the "right click" feature is acheived bt pressing "ctrl + (mouse click)"
