You’ve taken your first step into a larger world! It is, as you say, sweeeet.

Hopefully you won’t run into any of the reported problems (mine certainly hasn’t — yet — but it does get very warm and it does moo quietly sometimes, both of which I can live with).

I can run my few essential items of no-Mac software on Parallels, which was what made the difference for me (we're talking 5+ years of research data, not a minor issue). It's sweeeet. I just have to get used to all the different keyboard shortcuts. I don't know where anything is any more!
