(I need more RAM, for sure, but it's not too shabby)Congratulations on your purchase--I think it's a fantastic helper at the game table if you have PDFs of your rule system of choice, or internet access.One other Mac-thing that I tend to do is have different things on each virtual desktop (Space in OS X terminology).  Space 1: Adventure/encounter info; notes on what's happening Space 2: rulebooks Space 3: copies of character sheets.... you get the idea--i'm a big fan of multiple desktops as it makes mutli-tasking a little bit easier.</blockquote>
