I'm *not* patiently waiting for the arrival of my 2nd Macbook Pro. Joining my current 15" SR MBP/4GB/160GB 7200 will be a 2.66 i7 17" MBP 4GB/500GB 7200 so I will now have two laptops to play with... I often find myself wanting to use two computers at once... sometimes two computers and a TV... ADHD is the plague of my generation.
Anyways, I thought it'd be fun since there's lots of you out there who also just got or are soon to receive your new MBPs to get a thread going for things that you all do when you're waiting for or have just received your new computer. What accessories do you buy, what software do you download, what plans do you make to get the most of your new toy?
Personally... I've been downloading lots of games and movies that I will load up immediately upon arrival to play with mostly just to test it out. I keep clearing my desk making a nice spot where the new 17" will sit front and center with my secondary MBP off to the right and textbooks on the left. I also find myself compulsively browsing for cases, sleeves and other accessories... what accessories do you consider essential? What software are you sure to pick up? I'd love to hear what everyone else's immediate plans are when buying a new MBP.
