What do you do to a brand new Mac?

The title of this post says it all.  What do you do with a brand new Mac?  Let's back up a tad first.  Ok, so I was browsing the Apple store the other day and came across the 17 inch Mac Book Pro.  This computer is something I have always wanted.  I've wanted it longer than I can even remember.  So, on a slight whim and while using my 5 year old HP laptop, I ordered said 17 inch Mac Book Pro.  On the upside, I was able to use my college discount, but on the downside, that's a mega chunk of change!

I have never owned a Mac before...unless you count installing Mac OS X onto my netbook PC.  None-the-less, I don't know what to do with my Mac.  I am anticipating on doing a video unboxing, but I then want to get into using the new OS.  I've used Mac's before, but only in school, where everything and anything is blocked and monitored.  So, what's the first things you do with a new computer, more specifically a Mac?  Do you install certain applications or test out some features?  Please let me know.  Fill me in on all the things I need to do first off with this new machine.  I'm all ears and I need your help!

Leave a few comments telling me what to do first and what to check out.  I will be posting videos of my Mac in the coming days and am thinking about doing tutorials once I get into the OS more.  So, go for it, leave some comments.  Thanks!
