Woohoo! After having spent the last year using an Toshiba Satellite laptop, I've ordered an Macbook Pro via an arrangement at work

The Macbook has the following specs: 2.2GHz C2D, 15" Matte LED screen, 120GB hard drive, 2GB memory, Superdrive...

I'm looking so much forward to receiving it - can hardly wait!

That's almost exactly what I use at work, with a 23" cinema display. It rocks!

Whoa whoa whoa. When did we start registering our own trademarked sayings around here? And why wasn't I told? And how much will I have to pay you each time I say the above, rickey939?

Don’t worry about GoRikcy up there—he’s been frantically registering any- and everything he can think of for the past decade. The rest of us stubbornly refuse to pay the royalties, though. We bully him like that.

Hehe... I arrived back in Denmark earlier this year - in the beginning of May to start on a new job. So, if you by chance end up in Sønderborg, let me know...

Actually the Macbook Pro is going to be dead cheap - I'm going to pay DKr. 200,- each month (for 36 months) as it's a "Medarbejder PC", so in the end I'll get it for DKr. 7200,- (roughly $1300 or £670)...

7,200? G’dayum! That’s what I paid for my MacBook—and that was after my Apple on Campus 12 per cent discount!

Yep, it's bloody cheap - an offer I simply couldn't refuse

Working for TDC has some perks...

Hang on... Maybe things have changed, but when I had TDC Internet (about a year and a half ago) and it suddenly stopped working for no reason and I called support, I was told that TDC offered absolutely no Mac support. But they still give their own employees benefits on Macs?

How unfair!

(Or perhaps they’ve since added Mac support in general?)

Offically TDC doesn't support Mac - you have to set up everything manually since the software is Windows only...

But I guess they would like to change that since we're now getting Mac's.
