YOU USE AUDACITY!?
Wow!
I thought i was just one in a dozen, maybe.

So, about your old computer...
How fast is it?
How Much is it?
Where and when do i pick it up??

NO!!
Just KIDDING.

However, do you know where i can get a decent 2.0+ GHz computer for a pretty low price near south lake tahoe, carson city, reno, san diego, or oceanside?
(various towns in CA or NV)

Anyway have fun with your new mac.

I gave up on Apple back around 1995, after quite a few years of enthusiasm. They were so messed up, and I was getting seriously disgusted.

Then Steve came back.

Then they moved to a FreeBSD/Mach core. and NextStep. Whoa.

So I bought a PowerBook G4 last year. I love it. I *almost* wish I had gotten the 17" version.

And then Apple switched to Intel. I did *not* expect that transition to go as quickly as it did. So I'm anxious to get a 17" MacBook Pro.

Nay ... anxious is not the word. I have palpitations. I often can not breathe ;c)

These machines are not cheap. But they are also not cheaply made by any stretch. They're not just beautiful and elegant ... they are solid performers. They are the "best of both worlds" -- a solid Unix underpinning (with Perl, Apache, bash, emacs, tcl, etc. etc.) with iLife and myriad other applications at your disposal.

A nice virtual machine system that lets me run Linux, BSD, Windows, and any other OS at *the* *same* *time* on that MacBook Pro will really make my world.

There's still a few UI things that annoy me (former full-time FreeBSD/Linux user). But I'm adjusting.

Leo: welcome. You're going to have a *blast*

I was a recent switcher as well. I have a podcast I used to make with Adobe Audition on my Windows box but completely made the transfer to my new iMac. It's a bit different but I think you'll find GB 06 as a great program for making a podcast. I have gotten some great free tutorials from www.lynda.com and from www.screencastsonline.com. The screencast podcast did a tutorial on Garageband podcasting just this week. It really gives us switchers support on creating a podcast in Garageband. I really enjoy using GB 06 now and have been making enhanced podcasts each week. Good luck with your new MacBookPro!

Another way to access the right click function on a mac in OS X, is by pressing the control button when you click on your track pad.

That will bring up the menu like it does if you pressed the right mouse button with a two button mouse.

I wouldn't be surprised if, with Microsoft now delaying Vista for 6+ months, Apple sees a sales boost at Christmas. People will think "I want to buy a computer, but I don't want to buy one with Windows XP and then have to upgrade to Vista in a few months. And that iBook looks cute..."
