Well, its the UPS page that is getting worn out, so Fed Ex is safe!
I actually am getting just a plain old Mac Book; the 13 incher, and a Mac Pro desktop...
Interesting observation on not installing Windows on it as well. I guess I never really thought about windows as a "bad habit", but you make a good point about being forced to learn OSX and rid myself of the windows "demons"..So, you dont reccomend installing VM Ware or Parallels, just to avoid the temptation"?
I guess I am most concerned about finding good programs that can use the windows data that I have accumulated over the years; things like flashfxp data files, and making sure its easy to import email contacts and calendars.
I have been doing tons of research and I think I am comfortable with most things, but simple things like opening the cd tray and "right clicking" are things I am still unsure about.

I know a week from now, I will be laughing at myself because I was even concerned about some of this stuff!

Just checked UPS and its out for delivery today!

Well feel free to ask any questions you might have. I've done the migration myself and most of it is pretty easy. Importing Mailbox into Apple's Mail client is pretty easy, although transferring FlashFXP files might be a bit more difficult or you might have to start over. Not sure. But in any case, I'm here to share the wealth!

Apple no longer sells it, but you can find an iSight webcam on eBay. I would really recommend the iSight.

If you want something else, you can buy almost any USB webcam and download "enablers" which will allow OS X to use an external USB webcam.

But like I said, the iSight is still the way to go, even though Apple has decided to stop selling it.

I am tempted to use my nikon d40 as a webcam; i understand its pretty easy on a Mac..
