I've only used macs since 2001 before it was trendy to own. Since a time when the only place I could get mac software was compUSA an hour away or order online. I started using them for design, but I think that's an old wives tale that doesn't apply anymore because the only difference I've seen is stability in the design programs. Everything else is just smoother, faster and more streamlined and intuitive.
I would have said congrats if it wasn't an over priced mac. I'm not claiming to be an elitest of my own, I just can't stand how that whole line of computers are about 3x over priced for their performance / specifications. Never mind on top of the fact that the OP could have bought a brand NEW (no, actually brand new) laptop for just about the same price, but with better specs and warranty. On top of that, the OP's laptop isn't even being produced anymore.

Example I found in 35 seconds of googling.
