Yipeee!!!!!! I finally made the switch yesterday! My 15" PB that I bought used came in pristine condition! I am thrilled to bits! Will now have to slowly work my way around the OS. I already bought a tumbuk2 sleeve for her and also AppleCare. I hope that I really enjoy the Mac experience and cherish my PB for years to come!!
Oh the specs...15" 1.25 Ghz, 80 GB, SD, BL keyboard

Congrats!

Any questions you have just ask. Once you get used to the OS, I think you'll wonder how you ver worked w/o it.

Most of all, have fun! isn't that what macs are for?

congrats!

don't forget to visit versiontracker to download some useful freeware/shareware which make OS X rock even more. Where would I be without:

Konfabulator
DragThing
FruitMenu

etc. etc.

have fun!

Don't bother with FruitMenu. That's only to ease OS 9 users into the modern world. Konfabulator is a fun toy for about four minutes, after which it's merely a processor hog. Konfabulator done right (and usefully) will be built into OS X 10.4 (as "Dashboard"), anyway.

Check the "What software do I use for..." sticky thread at the top of the "Software" forum for all your basic software needs/Windows-standards equivalents.
