I noticed that, too! :dancing:

Confetti everywhere!

Years ago Toshiba, IBM and AST laptops used to come with this little pointer device that was in middle of the keyboard that looked like a pencil eraser. I loved those and found them very easy to use. But I hate the touchpad. I just can't seem to get used to them. I wish they would go back to the pointer, or at least give you the option of which one you want.

Just wondering if anyone here knew the answer to this?? I love playing Texas Hold'em at Yahoo.com, and was wondering if such a web-based game would work with the Safari broswer.

I don't see why not. I just cruised around the site and i don't believe the games are platform specific. But yahoo.com may be different
Correction. I just played Yahoo pool but i had to turn off pop up blockers.

i have a macpro and it plays flash games fine. the only problem is when a game requires right click then you need a usb mouse to play.

Congrats!
Get a stick-on nippy and you will love the touchpad. ;)

You and I are in COMPLETE agreement on that one. My old work Thinkpad had the erasure button, and I loved it. I have never used a touchpad for an extended period of time, so maybe I'll get used to it. We shall see.I have shipment confirmation for tomorrow, so expect some initial feedback by the weekend. One reason I like this thread is because it is forcing you to write posts on topics other than politics :nanana: .

You almost got me excited there for a second :). Ok, I'll bite, what's a "stick-on nippy" ?

Since my computer is now being delivered tomorrow, I know what I'll be doing this weekend ;). I would like to have a small support group of X5 members with Mac computers that I can e-mail with questions that I can't figure out on my own. FYI, I have never owned a Mac, so I am definitely a Mac virgin :rofl: . If you have a Mac and want to exchange e-mails so that you can be my HELP desk, send me a PM ;). Alpine Rasta is in, but she's in Vegas this weekend.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. Please, no comments like, "Just do a search on "MacWorld" etc... I prefer to communicate with friends for advice :).

What are the details on the new operating system?

Good luck with your new Mac
