I just got a Toshiba. The apple guy said if he were to get a PC it would be a toshiba. :D

I don't have a problem with macs, but i do have a problem with learning! LOL!

if you have any questions just ask

congrats on the shiny new toy.

Actually I do have a question. There's no right click. So how do I copy, paste, spell check...?

CTRL + Click

press control and click the mouse at the same time over the icon

if you plug in a windows USB mouse or Apple mighty mouse with right click it will work just like on the PC you can define the purpose of all the buttons on the mouse in sytem preferences (control panel)

toshiba is a quality brand, the toughbooks are pretty sweet.

I got a new Macbook Pro 15", the all aluminum one about a month ago. I have been using Macs since I was in elementary, and now that I will be starting college in Sept I'm glad to have a laptop that won't freeze and crash.
I run intensive programs daily such as CS4, Final Cut, Cheetah 3D, Flash and much more. The 4GB of DDR3 ram is very useful. Macs run a lot smoother because the hardware and OS are meant to work together, they are made by the same company after all, lol.
If you ever need any help with your Mac don't hesitate to PM me or just post here, I know my way around Macs pretty darn well.
And as for right clicking, if you place 2 fingers on the trackpad and click with both you will be right clicking, and you can scroll by placing two fingers on the pad and moving them up and down, like moving the pointer up and down but with 2 fingers. -Luis

Good choice on the mac. I love my 13" macbook pro and 24" imac. I haven't missed windows at all since making the switch.

Is this coming from experience with Macs? Or something you heard from someone else and just repeating it? I have a plethora of third party programs/apps and have very little problems if any. Can't say the same for when I use my brother's windows machine....

Will a Mac run my copy of VB6? And all the apps that I have developed with VB? What about dual or quad processors?
