New laptop arrives

After more than a month of waiting and a few more days of preparation, my MacBook Pro arrived at work today. I have the 15" model and it seems huge after using a 12" Powerbook for 2+ years. I have pretty much the standard set of software, plus the unavoidable MS Office, 2 GB of RAM, and Windows XP set up with Bootcamp. I tried the Parallels beta to use XP from Bootcamp but didn't get that to work. I'll have to do some troubleshooting there. My primary use of XP will be with Camtasia, but I am considering scrapping that plan and doing the screen recording with Snapz Pro on the Mac side. Not perfect, but it should do the job for me and maybe I can wait and see if Camtasia comes out for the Mac at MacWorld.
