    Congrats on the new MacBook Pro. I switched from windows to Mac 4 years ago, and no looking back! Best of luck with it. It’ll take a bit of getting used to the new usage paradigm, but once you have it down, you’ll be rocking.

    About 2100 songs....

    My iPod is syncing up now. Hopefully that won't take an eternity.

    Thank you sir. I thought this thing would be as easy to figure out as my iPhone.

    I was wrong. :confused:

    Yeah, definitely more complex than iOS. :) There are some good videos on YouTube that might help if you search for MacOS tips or MacOS getting started.

    Here is one that offers a broad overview and might help. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlqFBBCa-dQ

    One thing I did notice just now is being able to send text messages to android phone users, which surprised me.

    I figured this thing would be able to do that with other Apple devices, but Android phones???

    Yep, I text everyone from my old MacBook in the back of the truck. Nice to type with a real keyboard.

    Watch a lot of reviews before you make the jump.
    Some like it , some hate it.
    I have to know both systems.

    If you want to watch a few repair videos about Macbooks,look for "Louis Rossmann" on YouTube.

    Last night I also noticed that at least two of the games I played on the old laptop will also work on this new one, Dungeons of Daggorath, and Shadowgate.
