Congrats man, I got my first mac about 4 years ago and everyone in my family thought I was crazy. Now they all use Macs, and so do my friends. They love mac as much as me now, because everything just works. No driver issues, spyware, viruses, adware, hackers, blue screens of death. Windows XP itself is a virus. It's funny to, because after a while you will find yourself forgetting how to use windows. For example, a lot of times my friends need help with XP issues, and I used to be pretty good at trouble shooting windows machines. Four years later, I can hardly find anything on a windows computer now.
Welcome to a new computing experience!
