I ended up getting my MacBook Pro in early 2008. It took me around 2 weeks to get up to speed on all things Apple (though of course there are always new things to learn). Since moving to OSX my workflow has been pretty much amazing. It’s something that most web / graphics people who move to a mac find at least from those I’ve spoken to.
