The Mac Has Arrived, Now What?

Category : Journal

Ok, so I have now opened the new computer and booted her up.  Wow, what an amazing difference.  Even the packaging is different from the HP/Dell stuff.  If you have ever purchased an Apple product you know what I am talking about.  They employ some real geniuses in their marketing department.  The packaging and presentation of the products is unprecedented!  Opening this computer (even the box that the mouse came in) was like opening a shiny new Christmas Present.  Every seal that was broken was followed by an ohh or ahh!!  Too funny.

New Mac Notebook

Now the fun of transferring data, fonts, and programs begins.  Not to mention the learning of an entirely new operating system.  Which I can say that I already LOVE!!!  Talk to you all later, I am off to play work with my new toy data manipulating device.

Totally and Completely Bummed!

Well, between the time I created the video for the last post and this post, something has gone terribly wrong with my windows explorer.  This is the file manager window that opens when you want to look at your files, folder, whatever.  It will no longer allow me to view thumbnails.  This means that I cannot "pre"-view the photos I take for the blog. 

When a thumbnail is present in a folder that opens I get a message that the window has stopped working and is closing now…Then the obviously, overly stupid two buttons that say "OK" and "Cancel"!!

NO, it is not ok and I don’t want to cancel….Argghh!!  I did manage to get one good photo saved for this Thursday’s post, but all other photo posts are going to be slow in coming for a few weeks.  The ONLY thing that makes this better at all is that I am officially replacing my Windows Vista PC with a Mac!!  (now it will be sooner than later)  I’ll keep you posted…
