Hello, Highly interested in mining bitcoins... a bit mad at myself for not getting into it sooner.  I believe this currency has a lot of potential.   Currently, have a Mac Book Pro but I am reading that if I mine on my laptop that it would burn it out.  My hope was that I would not have to invest a lot of money to begin mining bitcoins but based on the research I was wrong.  Still in research mode and learning... I do appreciate this forum.
