In the beginning...

This story starts yesterday (Wednesday 2006-01-11 2pm:ish Finnish time).

With trembling hands I clicked the order button at Apple store, my first own Mac ever... Not that I am a stranger to Macs, but I've just never had had reasons for doing The Switch. Maybe I've been too lazy...

So, what reasons do I have for switching? Well, the primary reason for my switch is because that this product has no fans. I absolutely get tired of listening to the eternal fans of PC's. So if you are looking for a silent computer, look no further...

Now I have to wait a couple of days before I get it delivered. Six more days... six loooong days... oh the agony, the pain... ;)

What else did I have to get for preparing for the switch? A new keyboard, my old reliable MS Natural PS/2 keyboard doesn't work in a Mac Mini (because there is no PS/2 conector), and according to the people over at the Apple discussion forums, say that many have tried with converters, but with no luck. So I ordered a MS Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. If there is one thing MS have done right, then it has to be their Natural keyboard series hardware. I love these keyboards. Might be big and eat up a lot of deskspace, but there isn't a better keyboard available.

Well, I'll get back to you tomorrow, and report on how I begin my preparation for my transfer of my mail from my Linux computer to the Mac Mini when it arrives.

So until then,
tada...
