Macbook Pro

[RealClifford]

Hey everyone!

I just purchased a Mabook pro through work on sale! (Awwww yiiis, saved over $800, love working in IT)
But being someone who has always used PC, this is a nice learning curve, and I'm enjoying the new experience.

Now my only thought now is applications wise, what would you guys recommend.
Things I wouldn't really think of. I already am running the up to date version of Final Cut Pro, and those sorts of programs. Any cool little widgets, or applications would be awesome!

Thanks everyone!

Think he probably meant to aid in copying and pasting. As far as i'm aware with mac, unlike windows, it's far more difficult to highlight several non continuous parts of text. i.e the beginning and end of a paragraph but not the middle.

I might be talking out my backside but I don't know a way to do this without apps.

I meant you can copy and paste more then one thing. It saves everything you have copy and pasted also

You work in IT and bought... a Mac? Sorry, couldn't resist

I did the same a while ago, it's nice having a computer that just works after dealing with fixing everyone else's all day - I can never decide between my macbook pro and my surface 2 when at home

Reeder is a personal favorite of mine for documents, and VLC still tops my list on both platforms for a media player. Growl is nice if you want phone-style notifications on your laptop, but I grabbed it while it was free - I think they charge a small amount now.

Is there anything in particular you're trying to do with it? Let me know and I'll direct you to some of the better programs available for the intended purpose.
