New Macbook Tomorrow; What should I do?

[Sista]

I will be needing this thread and will most likely start a bunch of new threads with embarrassingly-easy questions related to my new mac (relax, I will use the search function first) in a couple of weeks. I'm very excited, also worried though, after seeing this thread. I have a bad (you can call it paranoid) feeling that I will have the same crappy luck this poor guy had. But it still doesn't put me off getting a mac.

I'm trying to read as many 'I love my mac, it's been great for years' posts as possible to make me feel better.

What's wrong with a current MB? Do you want an unreliable 1st generation product with a design we haven't even seen yet, or an MB that you have seen, and know that most of the issues have been ironed out?

Have you not seen the cracking, i NEED a new MB but i'm waiting another week. I'm not spending money on the current CrackBooks. I do appreciate that the new MB's could have problems but you will get more for your money.

Yes, just drag the profile from the Dell into your USER library>Application Support>Firefox>Profile

You may need to create the Profile folder.

Thanks! I just backed up everything I wanna bring from this clunky old Dell. Question though; is there a way to transfer my Firefox profile to OS X?

You should decide NOT to purchase tomorrow and wait till the new Macbooks come out. Worst case scenario, you get the current gen Macbooks at a cheaper price from the refurb store.

totally agree. those current blackbooks'll be 1049 in no time.

I realize that some MacBooks have had the cracking probs, but neither mine nor any of my friends' 2 year + old MBs have exhibited this problem. you'll find a lot of crackbooks on the forums because that's where their owners come to complain.

and yes I'd avoid a Rev A Mac for at least 6 months. there will be problems that need to be worked out...guaranteed.
