Well, not quite just, it was Wednesday.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there are any mac forums or news sites that I should be watching/reading?

I'm thinking of something like these forums, but for Apple computers, software and general stuff like that.

As for the Macbook itself, I love it. It just feels elegant and smooth. Got it calibrated, got CS4 and World of Warcraft installed, and I could probably go off and live on an island with it, my camera, and a power source :)

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a Mac yet but will shortly and have found this site to be a wealth of information.

Thanks, looks like a good source of information. I'll have to look at it more in depth.

Yeah that will pretty much cover it lol you might also look to see if there is a local MUG (Macintosh Users Group) in your area.

also http://macsales.com (external link) aka otherworld computing is a great place for mac stuff.

And once things go desperately wrong and you wish you had stayed with the PC, don't www.writemeamurder.co.​uk/userimages/Noose.jp​g (external link) but just get out your snhtradecentre.co.uk/s​hop/images/shovel_MAN1​924.jpg (external link) and pour some www.howarth-timber.co.uk/files/upl​oad_files/gallery/ceme​nt-cement-bag-image.jpg (external link) over it...

Sorry couldn't help it, my previous job was as a support person in a Mac shop :mad: ...
