I am really enjoying my switcharoo. It feels good to finally be working on a Mac. It was pretty nice at the Apple Store today. There was this really cool sales associate, named Luis. He guided us through the whole process of buying my PowerBook (12″, for those of you dying to know) and was really excited about me buying a Mac.

I took 2 photos with him. Actually, my dad took one and this other guy at the Apple Store took the other one. I’m getting the other by email. I’m guessing it might be put up on the Apple website’s Tiger World Premiere Gallery. I’m constantly checking there.

I also got 10% off my purchase. It was part of their scratch-off lottery thing. My parents and my cousin won the same thing, but their coupons went to waste, since I was the only one who bought something and you could only use one coupon per purchase.

It took a while to install Tiger, and I got scared. You see, my PowerBook was making wierd noises (I had never heard these type of noises before). I thought there was too much power and it was getting fried. Going closer to the PowerBook, I realized that it was just the hard drive doing a little extra work.

Right now, it’s really late. I’ve been checking out stuff on this for a while. I’ve downloaded Delicious Library, iPodder, Camino, Adium X, and Firefox. Expect reivews later on. Oh, also, Spotlight rocks Natick. Dashboard is pretty awesome, too.

So, Tiger is out today. I’m really excited, but I’m mad at myself as well. I need to finish like two projects before my dad comes home, or I might lose my chance to go to the Apple Store.

I’ve noticed some redesigned sites today. The Quicktime site is different. The .Mac site is also different. Also, Amazon.com got redesigned. Now, there are only two tabs the top of the page. One for the homepage and one for the categories. If you hover over the categories tab, you’ll see a menu pop up, showing you the categories.
