All of my colleagues at the "Pie in the Sky" (the Hammock headquarters in Nashville) have been happy and avid Mac users for years. I've heard them talk about the ease of use, the protection from viruses and the great creative uses of the Mac. But I still liked the old comfort that my Windows machine gave me. I knew where documents were filed. I knew how to backspace. And I knew exactly what to do with the control key.

And just a week in, I'm happy to report that I now know (or am at least in the midst of learning) all of those things on the Mac. I've become close friends with command+Q and finder. And I'm truly impressed with how fast Mac wakes up in the morning and is ready for work.

I'm sure about a month from now I'll feel like an old pro, and Megan and Patrick -- who probably cringe every time an IM window from me pops up and begins with "hey, can I ask you one more Mac question" -- will be so glad to have me out of their hair.

Now can someone just tell me where to buy a backspace key?
