Just bought my first Mac!

I have been thinking about getting an Apple computer for a while now, but finally broke down today and ordered one. I figured I better start since I have a business customer that just switched over to Mac last week. Better start learning as much as I can before they start actually using them full time.

I ordered the new Mac mini that came out today. 2.26GHz processor, 160GB Hard Drive (which I am going to swap out with a 1TB drive that I have) and I upgraded the memory to 4GB. Also got the Apple Wireless keyboard and the new Magic Mouse.

Should ship in about 3-4 days, and then 5-7 days for delivery.
This is going to be a long wait.
