I just got one, it's great. It's my first Mac and I'm not very savvy yet. I did figure out the most important things, how to install Maschine & Live

I think I will get a Mac for Dummies book today.

Google for a switchers guide and save your money fella

I've got a 2007 (white) Macbook which is still going strong(-ish) & 8gb iPhone 3G.

Will probably upgrade to a Macbook Pro next year when/if the entry level model gets an 'I' processor revision.

I hear you! I probably will want an actual book too, but I need to see what's online.

Did the 20 year old chick at the mac store you went into have big tits?
That's pretty much my Apple purchases for the last 12 years.

Only because it's sort of amusing, I have a 512 mac plus, a 400ghz G4 Power Mac, neither are really working though. My step father wanted an old dual Gig G4 I had, but doesn't have the room to set it up, so it's hooked up to the router to become a music hub for the house. I've had the same macbook Pro 2.4ghz for 4 years now.

Mostly I sell the mac I'm replacing to offset the cost of a new one. One of the reasons people who complain about the cost of new Macs don't know what they're talking about. Generally what with looking around for the deals you can find, and selling your old one, it's about a $1000 out of pocket expenses for a $2700 laptop.

You new adopters are weird though, I get it sort of, but in the end it's just a computer, personally I just haven't ever used PCs for music, and don't think I would like the experience, too many variables at the OS level.

old black macbook 2006 dual core
mac mini dual core
mac pro 8x3GHz
iphone 3GS
ipod 80GB
first generation ipod (refridgerator look)

the first generation ipod is rather dead meanwhile, all others are running troughout, most of them never switched off.

So the question is "what Apple products do you own?"?

I've got the AyePhone 3GS, and I'm quite happy with it. For this type of devices, I think Apple's OS paradigm works just fine.
There are limitations to what kind of functionality I want from a phone, and the AyePhone covers it all and more.

I've also got an old, first generation AyePod Nano, which I never use.

As for computer use, I simply cannot stand Macs and their OS. (I'm not starting anything here; I've been using Macs for
years at school and work, and I just can't stand them.)
