Just ordered my first Mac!

[usagent]

Hi all. Just ordered the 15" PB...doubled the video ram...can't wait to get it. I've been reading this board for a while and I know there are all sorts of threads about newbies...but I'm really interested in the very first thing that I should expect with my new machine...right out of the box, is there anything special I need to do to to fully capture the Mac experience? And although I will do a search for this, I figured I'd ask anyway...I'm looking for a cool backpack that will protect my PB and still look cool...and nothing TOO big and outrageous...kind of subtle, but very effective. Thanks!

Turn it on.

P.S. Enjoy that awesome piece of computer for me.

There's a funky little startup animation that you'll never see again after your first boot, so have a minute or two set aside so you won't be interrupted.

It's nothing Earth-shattering, but it's kind of cool.

There is? I'll be sure to watch for it today after I uncrate my PMac.
