The "Switch 101" guide on the Apple website is great too, but tbh it is all pretty intuitive anyway...

You really will not have many problems. Read my thread and just use it. Any questions just give us a shout.
I am getting withdrawal symptoms, my macbook pro died yesterday! It is most likely going to need a new motherboard but I bought the applecare warranty so it will get one
BUY THE APPLECARE WARRANTY....... But NOT from apple, look for the tip in my guide.

Oooh an applecare tip, glad i didnt add it to my dabs basket then!
Did you not even try one at an apple store before you bought it?
Nah, i've been working a little bit on jamestphoto's with him recently, once joined one to the wireless at work for someone and thats the limit of my mac-experience!
I daren't go into an apple store, too many shinies.

it arrived this morning, haven't had a single problem yet, have moved itunes over, got lightroom 3, cs4, final cut all installed, am posting on it right now
I also accidentally bought a magic mouse lol
Watch out, that is how it starts......
You'll end up having loads of accidents.
Dabs was cheaper, although I didn't look around too much, i've used them before and had confidence with them.
Magic mouse just arrived, I bought it mainly because it works like the touchpad (multi finger actions etc) on the mac book, and i'm easily sold on gimmicks. Mouse arrived today and its really nice, not as nice to use as my Logitech G9 (gorgeous mouse to use) but definitely a lot more portable, also allows me to put the G9 back on the desktop.
Favourite thing so far?.... Coming down to it in the morning and the aluminium being all cold
Install Bootcamp, then Windows 7 and forget that the Snow Leopard is on there - that's what I did.
On a serious note, the Mac hardware seems to be brilliant (says he sitting in an office full of them), enjoy!

Boot camps coming next, i've got lightroom3, cs4, final cut, itunes all sorted now, although so far i've not found myself wanting anything from windows.

Unless you really need a windows option I wouldn't bother with boot camp. I have 2 macs and 2 old (3& 4 yeas old ) PC's. I thought I'd keep the PC's around in case I ever needed windows. Never have.
If you need to access NTFS files, well the Mac will read them, but if you need to write to an NTFS drive then get NTFS for Mac. ( £25 from Apple Store)
Wise move about not going to the Apple Store.. Got me twice in 12 months....
