I was surprised to find many similarities between the two. I do like the fact that it is smaller than any of my pcs and turns on and off quickly. I can leave it on all night and it's right where I left it when I shake the mouse in the morning. The right click mouse was annoying but I got a "normal" one. There are still some features I need to figure out but so far it has been a good experience. I’ve been using PCs for years and just switched to a Macbook (at Toni’s suggestion) a few weeks ago.

Apple's built in "reader". If you like the results you can make Preview your default PDF file reader very easily. Go to any pdf file in the Finder. Select that file and type the key combo Command + i. That should give you an info window. Somwhere in the bottom half of that window you'll see an "Open with" option. Select Preview. At some future point you can change it back if you want to OR you can tell Preview to open ALL your pdf's by default by selecting the "Change All" option on that same window. Hope that helps and wish I could be at the Wordpress gettogether. Sounds like quite the event!
