I finally did it.

After 15+ years of working with computers and 10 of those years in software/web development, I finally own a Mac! Not a virtual machine, not dual-booting, 100% MacBook Pro.

I received the machine earlier this week and I can honestly say that it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be to "switch". Sure, the close/min/max on the left is a little weird, command+c to copy instead of ctrl+c takes getting used to, but overall it isn't that big of a deal. Apple's Find Out How page has been a great resource and mapping the bottom right corner of the touchpad to right-click has been a huge help.

Naturally, I installed ColdFusion Builder so I could continue my development and had to immediately follow Aaron Greenlee's instructions to make ColdFusion Builder sexy. I have the rest of the programs I use installed, or comparable equivalents, and haven't seen any reduction in productivity.

Since I still have a Windows machine I need access to, I use remote desktop at times, or Synergy has ben AMAZING for sharing multiple computers/monitors with one keyboard and mouse. Strongly recommend it.

The real test will be traveling and presenting at Max (you did register for my session, didn't you?) and fully intend to leave my PC laptop at home.

The next few weeks should be interesting and if all goes to plan, I may be be a 100% Mac user soon...
