That's scary. You got through it okay though, even with the added stress of having 13 letters in your name! Wow, they had a 13th ward? That’s scary.

Apparently that's the children's ward. My parents told me it was because kids aren't as superstitious as adults. I think it wasn't very nice of the adults to give the kids the unlucky ward! Meanwhile, I never knew that about having 13 letters in your name. I just counted and there are 13 letters in my name. It explains a lot.

I do miss the preview tab thing in Aero, where you can see what's going on in a window by hovering over the taskbar. Useful for watching loading bars without keep clicking on them. Gordon - You're right. Using a Mac just makes is somehow inspiring, yet I can't quite figure out why. I've only had it for maybe a month, and I've already created more stuff than in the past few. First thing I did was buy a book from iPhoto. Again, too easy. :) Ollie - Thank you, thank you, thank you, the shortcut list will be stuck on my wall just as soon as I can print it out!

I converted a few months back and found the first few weeks a nightmare. But now, after getting used to everything, I have vowed to never return to a Windows-based system for personal computing. The @ key was weird for me at first (upon initial startup you have to enter an email address and I stumped for about five minutes), but now I actually prefer it because I realised I was sort of squeezing my right fingers to get at it. Having up on the left means I'm using both hands (right for the shift), but at least I'm not getting cramp anymore! As for the hash key, well editing a stylesheet caused a lot of swearing from me until I realised it is ALT+3. Although I still keep hitting the Command+3 which does something completely different, especially within a browser. I believe you can format the keyboard though, so moving things around isn't too much of a pain if you know how. And just because I found this useful when I converted, here's Apple's keyboard shortcut list in case you haven't bookmarked it yourself yet: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343 Great summary.

Although for me the list of Cons (which is same as yours although shorter... ) is easily outweighed by "how it feels to use a Mac". Agreed on all points.
