Congrats! :) Actually my frustration was just for 30 minutes or so (couldn’t install an App) otherwise loved my MBP from the day one.

Apps is one of the reason why I use a Mac. Email me if you want to know how to get the apps or freeware applications for the tasks you need to perform. Let me tell you except µTorrent, all the best Apps are in the Mac platform only. ;)

Hi,

Congrats on the first MacBook purchase. 4gigs of RAM is indeed great.

As Josh mentioned, I’ve never ever myself, or heard any other Mac user use the Minimize window buttom. Command+H is a much better option available to you.

Also, on a Mac, once you get used to the shortcuts, it’s very easy to use the keyboard than the mouse. I very rarely use my Mouse now to do stuff other than moving and clicking.
To close a certain active Window, press: Command+w
To close a certain active App, press: Comand+w

Just wondering, are you a member of the thinkdigit forums ?

Thats awesome, I did the move about a year ago now, and I have never looked back, I’ve got a few answers to your problems.

The minimise side of things, don’t click it! Instead use Command+H that will hide the GUI which is why you can have 20 apps open and it will still run great :)

As for the keyboard, yeah that struck me and it took me a good few weeks to get used to it, but it does get easier and it is a lot nicer keyboard. Alt+3 is hash which i use a fair bit. If you need any more advice drop me a line.
