macbook pro in da house

Damn,

Let's face it, they do look cute. So what's it like to use from a "Linux on a PC" perspective?
The good:-
  1. Everything works.
  2. Not crashed yet and I have trashed it
  3. The dock is just like that of the many window managers available on Linux distros
  4. Audio play is very nice. Bit trivial but listening to music with iTunes or spotify is cool.
  5. Workspaces. Again, just like that on Linux distros.
  6. UNIX. It's why the internet works and will be around for a loooooong time. Macs run on a BSD variant.

The Odd:-
  1. The ruddy keyboard. Had to ask some one at work where the # key was, (alt+3 == #).
  2. Shortcuts. Hate using the mouse unless I really have to. WTF do all those keys do? Building up a list with with the sticky notes application.

Teh outrageous:-
  1. They ain't cheap. Yeah, I know that each MBP is hand-crafted by a Tibetan monk, but duuuuuuuuude - how much???
