Guys, I just bought myself a refurb 2.2 Ghz MBP. I really needed a new laptop, but didn't have enough money for the 2.4, so I opted for the 2.2. I've got a grin that the Joker would envy...

Time to update the signature :D
 
Congrats and welcome to the MBP party!
You're gonna have a great time!

NOTE TO ALL PEOPLE WONDERING WHY MACS SEEM TO HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS: People who make threads about Macs that work perfectly get few responses and have their threads end prematurely.

No problems isn't fun; it's not interesting. We thrive on brokenness. Most Macs actually do work fine, people just don't care to post "All good here" all the time.

Translation: Thank God for a poster who actually likes his/her Mac and isn't having a petty problem with it!

Nice new signature LifeCerealRocks!

What software do you have already and what do you plan to use on your new MBP?

I'm gonna be running MATLAB and Pro-E primarily, with Photoshop once in a while. I still have 2 subscriptions on Office 2003, and have Toast which I can't wait to install into my new MBP.

I've had my Mac triplets for several weeks now with no problems to report.

I love my 24"iMac and 15"MBP. My wife is pleased with her MacBook as well.

Never had a Mac before. Now I can't understand why I waited so long!
 
Weak! So I can't run Office 2003 for Mac? I have both 2003 for both PC and mac (I didn't bother putting any PC related crap in my signature).

Hmm, then I guess it was 2004. I'm not in home town right now, I'm in Houston, so I'll check when I go back.

If you have 2004, stick with it
2008 is not worth the upgrade in my opinion

and if you don't have it... then iWork is a good solution with Pages and Numbers

or the open source (free) NeoOffice

From Apple website:
Connect an Apple Cinema Display to expand your desktop and lose nothing in translation. That’s because the DVI connection gives you a pure digital signal from system to display. View more than 4 million pixels on a 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display, powered by the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor.

So, answer is yes.

Make sure you check with the Notre Dame (assuming from your signature) Computer store about Office 04 and 08. At my school (USF), they offer it for less than $15 for faulty and staff. It's in the $70 range for students. Still less than other places.
 
Congrats man! I have the same MBP, except with a 160GB hard drive and im absolutely lovin every day with it!!!!!! Havent had any problems either! (knock knock) :p
