My MacBook Pro Experience - Day 4
Choices, choices, choices …
When I'm setting up a Windows machine for myself I know what I want on it ad what I don't. With the MacBook Pro I'm having to figure out what I need to install. For example, do I need Firefox and/or Opera installed or is Safari good enough? Should I install Parallels or BootCamp? What blogging tool should I install? I'm thinking about ecto but I'm not sure …
I'm also discovering other oddities of the Mac (or at least the MacBook Pro) world -for example, there's no button to eject the disc out of the CD/DVD drive on the drive. It's on the keyboard. I'll tell you, that had me stumped for a few minutes.
I've downloaded Parallels and BootCamp - I plan on giving both a spin later.
