Sweet, huh?
Very sweet, thanks for that one. Works better than the PC version of it--way better, in fact.

I got the dual-fingered scrolling off the manual; amazing what reading one of those buggers can do for you.

Also played some movie trailers last night for the family using frontrow-god but the screen is incredible.

I'm hooked fully; functional and beautiful. Decided against the memory for now--if you buy the notebook online it's only a 175.00 upgrade. If you buy the notebook from the store you'll have to pay 350.00 for the online upgrade.

Here's something I learned: instead of minimizing windows using apple + M, hide them using apple+h. This way you can apple+tab to the desired hidden application and it is 'normalized' on the screen. If you try this with a window minimized it stays in the dock. Or did I get that wrong?

Any other neat efficiency tricks?
