I'm very disappointed it doesn't mow my lawn, walk my dog, go to work for me... just kidding. I know there were many complaints here lately.

No this is great. It's my first Mac and this thing is flawless! I love it. Any recommendations for widgets, programs, etc...? Thanks!

Yeah mine was, and is flawless

Great to see threads that aren't the usual whine.

Yeah, I recently got my first Mac and it is flawless too. Guess we all got lucky.

As for apps, I suggest getting Adium and Growl, in addition to what everyone else said. Have fun with your new machine!

My Macbook pro was also flawless. I'd inspected my very carefully but if you are going to nic pick on everything single little thing, there will never be a absolute perfect mac.

Crap... I see a hair on my screen.

Enjoy your mac. It's a awesome machine.
