Thumbs up Finally got it!!!!!

Well DB Boss finally came through for me, i got my MacBook Pro today. First of all a big A+ to Mac for the box it comes in, boy is the box ever impressive wow

Now, for the machine it's self. Very slick and very ergonomic designed, the keys are incredible, they feel so conformable and are well placed even better then my Sony. Turned the machine on and it didn't boot as fast as I was expecting it but oh well, the main screen is quite impressive...I'm not used to it so it took me a bit to get the connection to the internet going

Just getting going with it oh and my little girl is the one that told me that "safari" is a web browser, ha my little girl knows more about a Mac then me She told me that that's all they use at school

So I clicked on "safari" and the net loads up, the screen it's self is something else extremely sharp and the colors are very soft and smooth...oh but the best part so far is as I got on to the forum, I started tipping a way and noticed that some of my text was being underlined with red lines like word telling me I've made spelling mistakes...when I saw that I was in love...finally I wont make as many spelling mistakes thanks to the Mac or this Safari browser.

So, so far I'm very impressed with the MacBook Pro Look forward to start editing images and specially the videos, after all that's the only reason why I purchased this MacBook Pro

Well enough now for the pictures:

I have to admit the case it came in was very impressive.


Just got better and better


Side by side with what I used to favor, my Sony.


Even the power plug is impressive


Here it is booted up and all


After a few minutes to get the internet connection going made it to the forum

Well sorry for the long winded post but so far I'm quite impresed with the computer. Now to do more re-searching so to better familiarize my self with it.

Oh um...if any of you have any tips for me please share, I feel like a new born with this computer, I'll bet my little girl can teach me a few tricks..oh I connected a track ball mouse and I can right click..um....I thought that feature didn't' exist in Mac's...oh there is also no "page down", "page up" buttons but found out that if you hold "command" plus the arrow down or up you can go all the way to the bottom of the page or top, found that a bit neat...um..what else...oh it has no "backspace" but no big deal...all in all I'm pleased with my purchase..wish I would have done it earlier, so far so good

Oh and the multiple screens in "safari" are wicked and I love the size of the screens...any who looks like the beginning of a lovely relation ship

Oooh I just found out how to "page up" and "page down" hold "fn" and then press the arrow key up or down....nice lol..sorry I'm like a kid right now

Oh check this out, I read about it but it's quite something seeing it...again sorry just being a kid at the moment

This is cool:

The keys have lights...


Wicked

Now this made me think, what happens when the lights burn out it's going to be one expensive repair bill...I guess Any who who cares about that, I'll just enjoy the Mac
