Hi all!

I ordered my first Mac today. After much research about the refurbs i ordered a reburbished aluminum macbook today! I can't wait!

I have some mac experience through a video game design class that i took... it required me to use one since there were no pc's... but i don't have much.

Anyway, I'm well aware there is a search function as I've been spying around for awhile. I'll try to keep the newbie questions to a minimum. It should be here Monday and I can't wait! I also ordered a 16gb ipod touch as i feel its time to upgrade from my 30gb classic and i bought a last gen shuffle for my daughter...

Anyway, great forum... glad I found the place!

Chris
 
Welcome and congratulations on the new macbook 🙂

Try not to visit too often, this place is addicting, albeit entertaining...
 
Thanks!

I sold my bike recently so I need something to fill the void.

I would love to have more apple toys... Oh how i wish Verizon had the iphone!
 
Congrats on your new macbook, can I ask which model you went for. Whichever you went for you will love it.
 
Congrats, I just got my Aluminum MacBook about 2 weeks ago and I love it. I got the 2.4GHz model and upgraded it to 4GB of RAM (very simple btw). This is quicker than any PC I've ever had and you gotta love Leopard, I haven't went back to Windows since I bought my Mac Mini back in January.

thanks, I just got the 13" 2.0Ghz model. I do have intentions to upgrade to 4gm of ram and a larger hard drive.

It came! It was waiting on me when i came home from work!

She's a beauty!

Got her all setup and am doing updates while it charges...

Had a little bit of a hassle getting it connected to my home network but managed to get that squared away...


hooray!

I got the 4GB Mushkin RAM from Newegg for my new 2.4 unibody and it has been flawless.
