Say hello to the newest Mac convert in town.
With my teaching job already in the bag, what better way to embrace my newfound career than with a spankin' new notebook? So I went out and did what I've wanted to do for a long, long time and got myself the new
MacBook.
Well, actually, Dad paid for it, so thanks Dad! :)
I must say, I am totally loving my Mac. I can't believe how easy it is to use. My only prior experience with Macs was back in Uni when I tried out the iMacs at the computer labs. Then, I was only using it mostly for the Internet experience, cos I'd heard all these rave reviews about Safari being so much faster than anything else. Well. It's true. But, oh wow! The OS X Tiger is incredibly clean and sleek, many of the applications are to die for and don't even get me started on how fast it processes everything! And as though all that weren't enough, the learning curve is so non-existent that I found myself easing through the system in a matter of minutes!
I'm still using my desktop of course, since most of my crap's still on there. More importantly, Photoshop. I'm only using the Mac for work/school stuff and for those moments where I feel it absolutely necessary to surf the Internet
and watch TV concurrently.
Such as now.
Like, whenever football is on.
There's still a few things to learn and fully familiarise myself with, but I'm certain it wouldn't take more than a week to figure everything out.
I hit myself for not switching over sooner, but hey, better now than never, right? ;)
I'm feeling: Pleased
I'm listening to: I'm Yours -
