My Mac Has Arrived

After an excruciating day of checking my shipment status online, my most unlikely of purchases arrived at 5:20pm, unceremoniously dumped in the front lobby without waiting for a signature. Thanks UPS.

But that's all in the past now. I opened the (very nicely designed) box to find my MacBook Pro and all attachments inside. The computer itself was used as a demo machine in a Pennsylvanian Guitar Center, so the touchpad was a little dirty. I'm reinstalling Mac OS X (10.4) right now, since the Guitar Center thoughtlessly forgot to send me the local administrator's password. Besides those small things, it's looking great!

In case anyone is interested, here are the specs (in sum, Intel Core Duo 1.83 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 80GB HDD). Contrary to Phrogman's comment, it is in fact a MacBook Pro, and I got one hell of a deal on it.

Stay tuned for accounts of my adventures into Mac Land, and the possibility of running Windows Vista (RC1) on an Intel Mac.
