Switching for ME was noo problem. For my music is another story. But just overall the user interface so easy to use and easy to get used to. @Mike3k: I think that it was a problem with the formatting. Not sure what, but I've given up, I think the entire hard drive is messed up, I can't connect it to any of the computers in the house - it just doesn't show up. But it's ok. The only REALLY important thing on it was my music, which I'm now extracting from my ipod. @DJOJ, totally. Switching for ME was noo problem. For my music is another story.

It's amazing that the MacBook Pro box is less than half the thickness of the box from my old PowerBook G4: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mike_c/117432059/in/set-72057594089883918/ How is the external hard drive formatted? OS X has some problems with NTFS formatting, in particular it can only mount it read only. Installing NTFS-3G with MacFUSE (which is automaticaly installed with Parallels Desktop) lets you read & write NTFS volumes. Niiice!
