Apple advocates rejoice! I am now using a black macbook. After tampering with it for several hours, I’ve finally gotten the hang of it and can find most basic and some advanced settings with relative ease.

I have to admit the switch wasn’t as smooth as I hoped it would be. I accidentally renamed the home folder and screwed up a lot of settings. I ended up reinstalling the bundled apps, deleting the original users and so forth. Rectifying it took me 3 hours. Then I wasn’t able to transfer files from my trusty old vaio to my mac because the external hard drive was formatted in NFTS, which is a system that Macs can only read but not write. (Think CHMOD, web designers) My external HDD got stuck on the Mac, I couldn’t eject or force quit, so I just plugged it out in the end.

But after all the hassle and the frustration. I love the Mac. The screen is amazingly bright even without the power cord. The keyboard is really easy to type on, and the iSight Webcam is really high quality for its size. Oh and did I mention, I have Windows Vista Ultimate running on my mac? Too bad the sound isn’t working on the Vista.

Now, if only I have all my web design programs on this machine. Then maybe I could actually completing my layouts and making new ones.
