Well I finally made the move to Mac 
.
I was into serious audio editing for a while and at that time (@dallas sound lab anyway) PC interfaces with nuendo and protools were the way to go. However in personal use I found myself jealous of my wife's Mac air which still runs great while I went through various dells and hp (all of which failed in >3 years).
Currently I'm not doing anything extensive as I'm in pharmacy school but after my hp g series crashed I jumped on the 699 11 Mac air.
I know 2 gigs of ram is not a lot in today's terms but I remember my first dell only having 40 gig hdd and 256 ram at any rate it's an upgrade from my dead hp.
I'm new to the Mac world aside from occasional use on my wife's air and pro.
I would like to hear opinions on useful software/ apps/ accessories.
I think so far I'm in for:
Office for Mac
Expanded ssd external (I don't want to lose my iTunes again)
Sleeve
Super drive
I'm considering the zagg shield but I'm curious as to how long it sticks. It scares me to put goop on a 700$ purchase.
At the moment I'm hoping I can recover my old iTunes files because my band recordings were on there.
At any rate this seems like a great site most of my google searches brought it up so I figured I should join!
Thanks,
Tyler
