I am now viewing PF from my brand new Safari browser on my brand new Macbook!
I am so glad I got this. Loving it already!

Phhff, forget Mac & Windows - bring on the Linux! Faster and more stable than Vista, with the added benefit of being virus free and highly customisable. Okay perhaps the interface isn't as pretty but it's far more usable than either Windows or MacMath Jeans said:PC ftw. You all can go take your virus free, however, interfacably challenged computers elseware. I'm happy with Vista. My computer is fast as lightning. I never get viruses. The GUI is amazing, and I have a build in fingerprint scanner.

Ms Music said:Congrats! and I agree with D H about Firefox. I am absolutely FED UP with Safari, and if I get any down time this weekend I intend to download Firefox. Safari crashes my imac constantly. So is it the ultra thin one? huh? huh? huh? :D
Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) is probably the most user-friendly. Full graphical installer with very good hardware support. Go for it MB, come over to the dark sideMoonbear said:If I even knew where to start with it, I'd probably try it.

Danger said:MIH, that 'Air' is one sweet machine. I chose the MacBook (rather than Pro or Air) primarily for financial reasons. I can't imagine ever needing the power of the Pro, and the Air doesn't have an optical drive.

Ms Music said:Moonbear, I would consider you lucky! My Safari crashes DAILY. Literally. And it crashes the whole system about two times per month and have to reboot. But then I use my computer pretty hard. It is VERY normal for us to have a few web pages open, photoshop, itunes, and probably something else. So maybe in my house it is more user error? <giggle> But I *do* love my mac!

Moonbear said:The only thing that ever crashes my Mac is MS Office (I should have never let that MS contaminant on there, but what can you do, that's what everyone I work with uses, so I need to use it too).
Moonbear said:I've had way more than that open at a time. The only thing that ever crashes my Mac is MS Office (I should have never let that MS contaminant on there, but what can you do, that's what everyone I work with uses, so I need to use it too). That's actually a pretty light workload for me. When I used Macs exclusively, I'd have safari and mail open all the time, iTunes usually, Photoshop definitely, sometimes Illustrator as well, Word, EndNote and Excel, and sometimes Powerpoint. Then, just to give it a challenge, I'd open up StatView in OS 9 (that's one thing I'm glad to have a PC for...the stats packages on Macs are pretty sad, though I haven't had a chance to try JMP yet because it's just so expensive).
Ms Music said:Hmmmm, what versions? I have Tiger, and my Safari (I think) is current... I was actually online a few weeks ago for the ENTIRE WEEKEND trying to figure out why safari was crashing every THIRTY seconds. Hundreds of others were too. I can't even remember off the top of my head the program that was at fault, but it was something I had just downloaded. I thought Safari was extremely unstable. I am VERY curious as to why yours is just so darned good!

I'm the other way round, I run Linux with Win XP inside a Virtual Machine. Ubuntu is excellent, I've never had any major problems with it. We're due for a new version at the end of the month (8.04) so you might want to hang off until then.G01 said:I also want to learn Linux and was told to start with Ubuntu. I think I am going to invest in VMWare fusion and get an Ubuntu Virtual Machine running on my Mac.
