I am totally ecstatic about my new Mac. I have been using it all weekend, doing everything imaginable. Once I oriented myself and got the feel of the system, I have to say it is truly fantastic. My trials with Linux were a good primer for the Unix-based principle of the OS and its file structure. But this is 1000x better than anything I have ever experienced with Linux. It automatically did everything I could have asked, including printing to my outdated HP DeskJet 845c printer, and installing every other one of my devices. Everything has required so little effort, it’s ridiculous.

I have most all of my major apps installed and they all work beautifully. I purchased Quicken Mac 2007 while at the Apple Store. That is a must-have app for me. I have really enjoyed using that one. In fact, every app I have used for whatever task I want have been among the best I have ever used in their class.

My Mac Mini is such a joy to use! It is hard to explain how slick and cool it is unless you really use one. Transitions and overall response from the computer itself are outstanding. The interface, super-cool graphics, effects, clarity, multitasking, size, and speed are all without question absolutely flawless. I have no regrets. I’m now in first class.
