    my new toy :)



    MacBook Pro
    2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    15 inch wide screen
    4 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM
    320 GB Serial ATA @ 5400
    SuperDrive 8x (DVD+RDL/DVD/+RW/CD-RW)




    This is my first mac, so i'm still getting a bit used to some of the interface 'quirks'. If anyone has any tips, they'd be appreciated (ie. how do i switch between two windows using the keys...in windows its ALT + TAB...)

      It's kinda irritating because cmd+tab only switches applications, not specific windows. I had to use Witch which enables alt-tab to switch windows. And unfortunately cmd+tab cannot be remapped, otherwise I'd use Witch and set cmd+tab to switch windows and get rid of the old cmd+tab which is useless to me.

      I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

            check out hot corners.... you can find it in system prefs under the desktop and screensavers, with this you can set up the functions most use the f12 and f 11 keys for ...ie show desktop our show all windows or start screen saver or show all work areas

                nice one Jeff, Kudos on making the transition. I hope to make mine some day. I just got my wife a Sony Vaio notebook (she saw mine and wanted one, plus her old notebook is on its last leg of survival).

                  control + click on the touch pad clicker = right click

                  control + two finger scroll on the touch pad = zoom in or zoom out

                      nice! thats a badass machine as well (minus the vista, i suppose...)

                      i just couldn't resist the new macbook pro's...talk about minimal design. really love the fact that this thing will pretty much run every damn program i could think of without so much as lagging. ableton 7 runs like butter...

                      i'm getting logic pro as well, really looking forward to that after seeing my friend play around with it on his mac!

                        Now enjoy hacking the interface and all your app icons, system icons, dock, etc. Macthemes is great for that.
