I have used a macbook Pro for a little over a year now and I worked at our local Apple store for most of last year. It is honestly the best and easiest computer I have ever owned.
Assuming that this is your first Apple computer, If I may give you some pointers. There are a few things that you will want to download immediately that will make your life much easier. The first is Flip4Mac, it will let you play Windows Media Files in Quicktime. The other thing that you might find helpful is Flickr Uploadr. It will let you upload your photos from iPhoto without going through the Flickr interface.
And never ever be afraid to use http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/ I worked for Apple and every once and awhile I will go there when I am stuck on something.
Joe, I have used the MBP for right at 2 years…. I just purchased a second one for the church two weeks ago. I absolutely love it…. After two years of mac use I cannot imagine going back to the pc world.
Joe, I am thrilled for you. Have had my revision one MacBook Pro for almost two years now and love it. I share your joy. I am trying to convince Canisius to buy me a MacBook Air upon my arrival.
I am the Lead Pastor of Redeemer Fellowship; husband to Jen; Dad to Katherine, Elias, Madeline, and Kilian. If you're in town you can probably find me in the local coffee house or running through the neighborhoods.

NICE! Congrats Joe! Love it!
Not you. Never you. I may weep.
Just don’t become one of those Mac snobs.

Congrats!
Another victim of the dark side.
Welcome to Mac-land. I have used Macs now for 13 years and don’t ever plan on going back to using a PC if I can help it.
Snobs? Or ones who have seen the light!? I think the later! Joe here is another great link,

They say the learning curve is 14 days for the average person, you’ll be fine by the end of the day probably!
Welcome to the Family, Joe.
I’m not sure if I’m more happy for you or sad for me. But, I think it’s both. I think both are happening at the same time.
Glory, glory Hallelujah!
Give it two weeks and you’ll wonder how you ever lived before.
Joe, I am thrilled for you. Have had my revision one MacBook Pro for almost two years now and love it. I share your joy. I am trying to convince Canisius to buy me a MacBook Air upon my arrival.
Hearty congrats Joe! I’m not far behind . . .
at least that’s what Tom tells me.
Thanks guys. The links are helpful. This is an amazing machine.
Timmy, you get to learn so much from Tom. Pastoral ministry and Mac culture.
Great!
I remember clearly you envy face with my MacBook Pro
at the chicago boot camp
God Bless
Yeah Felipe, I was drooling over your shoulder at your computer.
Deep joy fills my heart!
Well done my brother!
I do not understand the difference between a Mac and a PC. I am ashamed.
