Did you go with a Macbook Pro or just a Macbook?
I haven't been to NY yet, can't wait to see it though. |
gone with the 15inch pro ... 17inch was just a bit too big to be practical ...

CS3 will be the only change with the mac keys but it should be fine
Apart from that I'm quite comfortable with Shell access (Terminals) .. I've installed a few bits and pieces (skype) ... I won't be getting office or iworks though .... so we'll see
open office will be the way to go ...
this is day 2 with the mac book pro ... the other half loves it so mac is probably the way to go (for me at the moment)
A challenge will be to install Eclipse ... though I may move to some mac code editor
