    I'm expecting

    A new Apple MacBook

    My wife just won it at her work.

    I've never even touched a Mac before but it will soon be my main computer at home and while travelling.

    Re: I'm expecting

    The macbook comes in white and black. There are two base models of the white macbook. The black macbook only has one configuration and its equivelent to the upper white macbook. It costs 150 dollars more though because apple predicted a high demand for the black one compared to the white one.

    I remember something similar at a place I used to work.. they bought a new server rack, but didn't want it in the standard paint colour - so they asked for options, the best of which was for it to not be painted at all, and that cost an extra 20%, for less work!

    They probably had to take it off.. Or it is an other way of saying. We don't want to do it for you. Same with cars. In Europe you have to pay extra for an automatic shift car, in the US you have to pay more to get a stick shift...

    They just didn't want to do it.. I guess they had one already painted, and didn't want to make another.

    Yeah, I would say that is true because there are times when pain is good...it reenforces the fact that you are still alive.

    She still hasn't gone in to pick it up. She doesn't care about such things so I will have to keep reminding her to do it (nag).

    Re: I'm expecting

    OK,

    I got the black one instead. Looks pretty cool.

    It took me a while to figure out that the web browser program is called safari.

    Not too hard to connect to my wireless network. Entering those long WAP encryption keys is a pain.

    Now if I could just find that second mouse button...

    I've been told that I can install Windows on this computer, I wonder if I could make it a dual boot machine?

    In the mouse options when you are in system preferences, there's an option to make it so if you tap the touchpad with two fingers, it will do a right click. There is also an option that you can enable that will make it so if you have two fingers moving on the touchpad, it will scroll instead of moving the mouse cursor.
    If you don't want to enable the two finger clicking, you can "right click" by
    holding control and clicking.
    You can also hook up any usb mouse with two buttons.
