But I think I just exploded with excitement. The new MacBook Pro arrived today, and has astounded me from the moment I opened the box. I'm a many-year Mac user, and was prepared for how easy it was going to be to get things up and running...or so I thought.
Nope. 100% off the mark. Fifteen minutes after opening the box and unwrapping everything, I had my old 500MHz G3 iBook in front of me, except it was running a million times faster, had a glossy wide screen and was all silvery. Other than that, nothing had changed - everything else was the same, from the desktop picture rotations to the printer settings.
The migration wizard does whatever the opposite of "sucks" is, and it does it a lot.
I ran software update, and pulled down all of the latest versions of everything, restarted and away we went again.
The significant other pushed me off the seat, and within 20 seconds had fast user switched (with obligatory "oooooh" as my screen rotated out of the way and hers appeared), and was checking her mail, opening a podcast and pissing around in photoshop elements to her hearts content without really noticing any difference. It was all going soooooo smoothly...until...I pushed her off the seat to play with my new toy again, how dare she interrupt my fun in an attempt to do some actual productive stuff?
There were a few minor "application X has been updated, can it use your keychain still?" questions every now and then, but that's expected.
Woo!
and Yay!
