I bought a mac - I feel so dirty

Yeah, so a while ago I was talking about how I wanted to get myself a laptop, and after a while passed, Apple released their MacBook. And of course, when I see something I want, I try to make it mine. And today it arrived.

It is an absolutely beautiful peice of kit. Although I am still finding the ropes a little bit and realising "Shit! Whats Copy and Paste on a MAC!?".. But its all been fun. Don't worry, I'm not giving up on games/windows. I've still got my PC sittinga round too. I'm just thinking ahead when it comes to uni. And getting something more portable etc.

Yeah so post your flaming or praise on a postcard addressed to Deagostini - I Love horses, PO Box0003, UK.

Or in a post just below here

OOOOOO nice! Which colour did you get? I hope it was a 13" black mamba one! And do you have an iPod too so you can look like a real Apple wanker?

Puts my old iMac to shame

Do they still have that fucking single button mouse? For some reason nothing irritated me more than not having right click. It drove me nuts after a while and I threw the mac out the window. It was only then that my mate's gf reminded me who's house I was in

Last time I went on one, it didn't have any buttons - the whole mouse clicked down. Style over practicality FTL.

I was slightly worried about this when i started, so I ordered a Mighty Mouse, to go with it, because it has more buttons etc. But have found that when you're in OSX (Haven't got around to Boot Camping yet) there's not much use for a right click, and if you do, Ctrl+Click.. Pssht. I'm happy with this.
