First day with mac

Today, at a brand new job, I received my brand new MacBook Pro. Awaited this moment with both hope and fear, I must say I was pleasantly surprised.

As my history of using computers included only PCs (excluding C64 and Amiga 500 from the early days of mine), with Windows (before) or Linux (until recently), I have expected that first days on Mac are going to be hard.

Almost nothing like that happened. Excluding few things I was used to (FF way of browsing, double button mouse and hardware button for eject) the transition was really smooth. And I was amazed much more by the nice UI than I could have expected. 

Few ideas are really good, now two things that I miss most is right button of the touchpad and how to watch movies and avoid screen getting dark when lights are turned off :)
Most compelling ideas are dashboard, this how-to-name-it f9-f10-f11 things and Finder.

So I'm pretty sure that my relationship with mac will be good and will last quite a while. Unless of course Google releases it's own laptop ;)
