The new MacBook's here! The new MacBook's here! - spacescape - 03-20-2009
MacBook Pro that is... I am somebody!!!
I know, no leader until I boot it up and post from it. Sure wish I ordered my Tomato and/or dd-wrt compatible router already. DOH. Been one of those weeks. Let just hope that the 4GB of memory shows up by tomorrow.
Now, if it wasn't ice cold it would of been booted up by now.

Good call on the waiting for it to warm up first. That 4GB RAM will make a world of difference!

My day off... This is cruel... Learning wordpress, css and xhtml right now... Can't focus with a new frozen toy sitting next to me.
Just deciding how I want to set it up. I need to load a few things but for once I'm only installing things I actually need. Deciding if I want XP Pro installed or not... Parallels or bootcamp... Decisions, decisions.

i would do a total complete reinstall and delete all printer drivers, languages and iwork demo -- you could save several gigs right away....

Good idea. Probably will start it tonight when the kids go to bed. Trying to be productive.

What kind of format do you guys recommend? It's new so I'd assume a quick format is good enough and this is what I'd do in the past. No reason to zero out data.

Zeroing would be a waste of time at this point. Just do an erase and restore / install

How do you get iLife '09 back?
Re: The new MacBook's here! The new MacBook's here! - spacescape - 03-20-2009
iLife '09 is on a DVD and says "NOT FOR RETAIL SALE".
