My New Toy


My laptop died this week. Actually, the monitor kinda half snapped off the bottom part. The hard drive is still there so I haven't lost anything this time but Shawn decided that it was time to update and upgrade. I rely on him and his expertise because I know nothing of these things. I've always been a PC kinda gal because that's all I've ever used. Well guess what he came home with? A MacBook. I've used a Mac all of 3 times in my life. I stay away from them because they scare me. There's no right mouse button, their buttons are on the left instead of right for their web browser, there are a whole bunch of icons at the bottom and I have NO idea what they do. Shawn said he will partition the hard drive so I can go into PC mode when I need to but I'm realizing very quickly that I need some serious help. If I have a party, will someone who knows how to use a Mac come over and show me? I know there's at least one person out there who knows how this thing works (I would link to her blog but I don't even know how to do that with this!!)

HEEEELLLP!

LUCKY GIRL!!!!!!!! Do you have any idea how much I long for one of those sweet machines? Sigh...it's just so pretty.

I would be happy to help you understand what a beautiful Mac is all about. Perhaps you, Lisa and I should get together soon. I think she needs a tutorial as well. :)

Mark is a HUGE mac person -- he loves it -- I bet you will too, once you get used to the 'new addition'.
Congratulations on the new toy!

You sound like Kim (Chasing Channing). She bought a Mac laptop before the trip to China and is still cursing it! (it scares the crap out of her too!)

I really can't comment on the Mac as I too have not used one.

I do know that people who do would NEVER use something else!!

Congrats on the Mac. I'll bring the wine and some munchies to our class.

He bought it already??? Tell him I am going to kick his butt. He will know why.

You will adapt and love it (from what I hear). Shawn should bring you home those types of pressies more often!

I just found your blog today. I'd be happy to help. I am pretty proficient so if you have any questions, ask away!

You will not want Windows for Mac. I PROMISE using a Mac is so much easier than a PC. You'll love it.
