Thanks for fixing it I guess. It still seems to be very demoralizing!

I'm sure they're nice computers, but I have a REALLY hard time justifying $1200+ on a laptop.

I dont you get what you pay for with apple. You want something really nice you have to pay for it.

Happy? I don't even care. Keep it, I just hate reading (can't help but read them) ****** up sentences. Especially when they are grammatically flawed and meaningless.

If there is any way without spending the rent money, DO IT. Like you, I was a windows user for too many years. What a waste of so much time. Shortly after getting the original iPhone I decided to make the switch. Don't even know where to start in telling you how much better Mac's are and are really easy to learn. One of the best parts? Don't need to "clean house" all the time like you do with windows. If you get one, you will be glad you did within about an hour.

dturner..I couldn't have said that better. I too just bought my first 15 inch unibody 320 GB MBP, about 2 and a half months after my iPhone 3GS. It is my first Apple computer ever so I could justify paying the $1750, after rebate. It is a real work of art. It makes my other Windows laptop look like junk. I agree, there isn't all that bloated garbage you get with Windows, not to mention constant updates, and anti-virus. I bought books to learn the details of Snow Leopard, and it has been a really valuable educational experience.

Mine a a bit older and came with Leopard, but I too bought one of the "Dummies" books and learned a ton about the system. I would highly recommend a book of some sort to any new Mac user. It will get you off on the right foot and you will find that they are really easy to use.

Honestly speaking, you don't even need a "for dummies" book, because both Leopard and Snow Leopard are brilliantly simple to use, and are just.. intuitive.

oh, and to the OP.
If you can't afford the new MBP, try craigslist, and try to find either a slightly older MBP or a newer WhiteBook.

In hindsight you are absolutely right. But being new the the Mac at that time, I guess I felt that I knew nothing about the OS and wanted some guidance. But really if you know windows, you can catch on pretty quick by just digging in and doing.
