yea this is my first mac to call myt own. my elementary school had them back in the day. and i was in second grade. i only used windows 95 at home and the mac drove me nuts. no left click, you have to keep the mouse over the menu to keep it open. all we ever did in that class was play games lol like number muncher, where in the world is carmen sandiego, cross country usa and some other game. i will say i am infatuated with my macbook right now. except for my superdrive problem where it recognizes the cd then it apparently dissapears off my desktop and all i can do is eject it and put it back in for it to be read.
anyone else think i should have it checked out? i posted another topic about it but maybe it was just the brand of cds maybe? i mean they werent burned mixes so idk.

congrats on the macbook, i'm about to buy mine in the next couple of days! i know there are rumors about a new macbook in june/july but why bother waiting? if its anything special i'll just sell the macbook when/if it comes out. i hope you are enjoying your blackbook.
nope not really bad smudge problems. i mean i can see little smudges. but im not ocd about it. i have no complaints about this notebook! well exceppt for it seems like the key shortcuts dont work for me like to log off. Up cmmd Q does nothing. it brings up a finder folder with my full name thats it. am i doing something wrong or do i need to change a setting?
oh yea and the battery life is amazing. i put it in battery saving mode with bluetooth off and it estimates like 5 hours. so much more badass than my last laptop (acer) that thing sucked compared to this. also does anyone know if the macbook can handle vista premium? i want to put it on for some cad/cam software for work. thanks for all your help guuys!
edit: i do have one complaint. i was ripping cds yesterday and itunes froze 4times. most of the cds were scratch free. it seems like the superdrive is so sensitive compared to pc cddrives. ive had horrible cds that have been read before and one cd has a smudge and it locks up itunes while trying to rip it. it kinda sucks. this happen to anyone else? im starting to think my superdrive really is bad. i wish i could use my zune software.
