I finally did it.  I made the jump from PC to MAC.  I have been PC my entire life and figured it was about time to try out the MAC after all those commercials. I got a new MacBook Pro and it looks cool.  The keyboard lights up and everything. 

I have been developing Flash on it for the past month and came to some conclusions.  The Apple learning curve will take me longer than I thought.  I guess this is because I lived and died by the shortcuts on my PC.  I adjusted to the basic Apple differences quite easily, like using the command instead of the control key. The Flash shortcuts are what have been killing me.  F5 and F6 were not creating new keyframes or blank keyframes for me.  It took me a while to realize this was because you have to hit fn and F5 or F6.  So I had to do it the long way insert > timeline > Frame.

I guess part of my struggles is because I have a laptop with limited keys.  Not having a home and end key has also slowed me down. 

The positive thing about the switch has defiantly been dealing with my creative partners.  This was the main reason I made the switch.  Since the creative assets I get were designed by people using MACs a lot of time I would have missing fonts or fonts that were not compatible.  This doesn't happen anymore.

All in all I have mixed emotions on the switch from PC to MAC dealing with Flash development.  I have to say I miss my PC, like it more and much much faster with it, but time will tell.  Maybe in 3 months I will be singing a different tune when I know my MAC inside and out but until then I have to say,  "I am still a PC guy!".
