I can't believe how good the packaged programs are.
I can't believe how well made this thing is. It's just beautiful.
Okay so it runs very hot. And it shows smudges. I can live with that. | |

I've thought that about you for a while , and since you're a mac user I gues it's even more true.

About the heat issue , have you updated the software yet. Mine has never run very hot but was very warm now it seems to be better after the update. Also the case acts as a heat sink so as long as it the left side of the bottom case getting hot then all is working properly.

Join Date: May 2002 Location: Buffalo, NY Posts: 2,671 | Yeah. I'm running 10.4.7. Still fairly hot. It really is only the left side in the back that is getting hot and not the rest of the computer. I can deal with it.
I let the battery run down overnight to calibrate it.  Now it's charging and I'm using a PC. I feel like I am back in 1995 with this thing. | |

You will really enjoy the Mac. I've been a fan for two years now-I have an iMac G5.
I'm more productive on a Mac since I don't have to run all sorts of security and maintenance programs.

Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: The Heart of It All Posts: 201 | Congratulations on your purchase. My wife and I are both going to upgrade to the new MacBooks this summer. If you haven't already figured it out, the Mac community is pretty passionate and always willing to help out another Mac user with a problem. So, welcome to the fold
I like the shot with the nano. Did you do the back-to-school deal with the iPod rebate?
Also, check out these tutorials on the iLife apps from Apple: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/ | |
