So ... i am getting a macbook pro

[gumpie]

So my company decided it was time to splurge and get some mac book pro 17"
i am sooooo excited. BUT as this is the first time working on a mac what you recommend is the best way to start off. Are there any good mac resource sites that you can recommend?

I am a happy camper...

Well done and welcome to the world of 'proper' computers!

Try www.apple.com

http://www.macupdate.com is a good place for mac downloads.

macs are intuitive, simply "guess" what you want the macbook to do, click randomly and you will find it

Enable right click for context menu and you're just like in Windows.

To be honest. If you want to know anything google it.

I googled Screenshot on a mac and got the exact answer. Googled see computer info and it showed me how to get into system profiler. I googled MSN for Mac and it took me to a sight for MSN:Mac and the better Andriod! Google is your friend!

Thanks sooo much for all the info.
I got the BEAST last night and had loads of fun playing around with it. Still got loads to learn.

Yea, Adium rocks!! Also has support for Gtalk and other protocols.
