Between the internet outage last week, and the trip to Detroit over the weekend, I have not had much uninterrupted time to explore the new MacBook.  Now that Lilly and Mary Beth are sleeping, I'm finally getting a chance.  I'm reading "Switching to the Mac - Tiger Edition" which is a very easy read and is not too out of date - so far.  I have a Leopard specific book on the way too which should be here soon.

So far it has been mostly smooth sailing.  I do find myself missing the page up/down and home buttons and haven't quite memorized the keyboard shortcuts, but I think that will be something I can overcome.  The single-button mouse has been a non-issue since I use a blutetooth multi-button mouse most of the time and command-click is becoming second nature for those times when I don't bother taking the mouse out of the briefcase.

Sleep mode is an absolute treat.  I don't know if it is the "newness" of the machine - I hope not, but this machine goes into and out of sleep mode with ease.  It's the first laptop I've ever owned where I had to turn off the "go to sleep mode when shutting the lid" option within a day of owning it.
