It should automatically switch to the Mac page when it recognizes what browser you are running.

If it doesn't work, there's not alot you can do except uninstall and reinstall if you have it downloaded.

Now is the best time to reinstall the Snow Leopard software back onto machine. Saves you the hassle of doing it later when you have data on the system.

This isn't right - Macs come with flash. Which browser?

Same - I have a mb and I didn't even need to install it when I got it.

I heard it didn't ship on the 2010 Air, maybe they stopped doing so with all models?

They stopped shipping it with all new Macs when they released the x2 new Airs a month or two back.

Really? I guess my 27" must have been sitting in the store for ages then!

Glad to hear you've got it working - might I ask which one you got?

i got one of the new 21.5 inch ones, i love it. i'm in such awe. i was messing about on the 27 in. in the apple store, and it just seemed really big and un-necessary.

My mom has one in the kitchen, I find it far to large.

What makes me so dizzy using it is how many pixels per inch theta are. They're so much smaller than I'm used to therefore it looks like everything has shrunk quite a lot to me.

I just find I have to stand back and there's no room to do so because it's on a desk and behind the desk is the island.. we need to get some sort of TV tuner for it because it's nice to look at but it serves no purpose as a 27" kitchen computer, a 21.5 inch would have been more than enough! I must say the speed of the i7 blows my mind, I just wish they still came in 24" :(

OT: There are so many innuendos in this topic it's unbelievable. LOL
