I'm sure they "were" glad you bought that.

Hey!

Congrats on becoming a Mac person. Tiger will be released in eight days, and yes, I am enough of a Mac-geek that I plan on buying it immediately.

A great OS really does make using a computer a more enjoyable experience. While OS X isn't perfect, I really believe it's the best thing out there when it comes to user-friendliness.

Also - congratulations on your upcoming move to Pittsburgh. The Steel City is no almost-Boston, but it's a fine city nonetheless. What a skyline the burgh has! I haven't lived there since 1996, but every now and then I miss it.

You're getting a two button scroll mouse, right?

Surprisingly, *I* bought myself a PowerBook four days prior to your purchase. I guess it's the season...

....to respond to jalpuna!, the bestest view ever of the skyline is coming out of the tunnel on 279. Which is to say, should you fly to Pittsburgh again, get someone to pick you up and drive you into the city (as the bus doesn't show you the skyline).

...to respond to andy, the cheapo LogiTech three-button scrollwheel mouse integrates perfectly into the OS without configuration, and works just how you'd expect.

Wheee! I've had a few hardware problems with my iBook, but on the whole it's been very pleasant to use.
macosxhints.com is a good place to go for tips on neat things to do with your Mac.

(I'm looking forward to Tiger, too.)

Oh my gosh--it just found my printer automatically. I feel like one of those people in the Errol Morris "Switch" commercial.
