I placed an order for a Black Macbook with 120 GB HD and 512MB. Also I ordered 2GB of ram from OWC, I read a bunch of positive things about them when I was searching here. I'm really excited but then the only draw back is that it will not ship to the 13th and the estimated arrival is the 20th... Oh well it gives me time to sort through and back up my mess of files that I want to transfer to my macbook.
Got a tip for us?

Grats, i hope you like it. Spend lots of time playing around with it when it first comes, make sure you have plenty of time to see everything. Its very easy and it should not take long. If you have any questions post them here but more often then not you will figer things out on your self.
As a recent switcher, let me give you a couple of tips that will help you along.
1. Spotlight is your friend, learn about it
2. Ditto, double ditto with Expose'.
3. Try clicking the yellow minimize button while holding the shift key, (hours of amusement
)

ah...don't worry about switching takes about a week or so to get used to it and then once you get into it, you're hooked . Runs so much better, and quicker, and I used a friends, black macbook with just 1gb of ram, its fast!
Enjoy!

That is awesome! never knew it.
Someone needs to start a thread with cool little tricks like this...maybe I will
Anyone know any other cool tricks?
I'll have to try that next time I'm in the computer lab on campus.dsnort said:3. Try clicking the yellow minimize button while holding the shift key, (hours of amusement
Just out of curiousity, about how much faster is the Macbook than my current desktop. It's a Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz, 512MB RAM, and a Geforce 4 ti4200, kinda old I know lol.
Try holding the Shift key when using Expose or Dashboard.
You've just made a new enemy Elixer, I want a BlackBook soooo bad, considering I was left in the dark, Mac-less not too long ago and am now faced with the horrible-ness of Dell-using and Windoze expee... one of these days... POW! right in the kisser.. I mean... I too will have a BlackBook.
