Looking for some advice/help from a converter

So, I've decided to come over to the world of Apple after being a PC guy my whole life. My PC-only needs have died down in recent years, and with the ability to still boot Windows on the Macbook Pros, I still have that safety net available. My Macbook should be in town next week, and I'm looking for any tips/tricks/advice you all would give to someone just entering the OS X world. Thanks!

Start with a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, add a new wallet, and top it all off with a nice pair of shoes.

You never want your laptop to look better than you do.

I'm not a downer, I set you up with a nery nice look.

Get this stuff. Some of it is free, some isn't, but since more than a few Mac users are thieves you can probably get that stuff p2p.

AppleScript is your friend, start here.
Once you get some free scripts go here.
Turn on your firewall.
I know coming coming from XP you want things to be hard, but they aren't use it and use it well. You're paying a very high price for today so don't waste it.

Thanks! I was referring more to the other guys as the downer, heh. And you are right, I will probably "want" things to be hard so it will be an adjustment.
