Yesterday I received my Christmas present early. This is practically unheard of in our home -- we never give or open gifts early, it's a matter of our Christmas tradition.
But, this is a year of change, I guess -- as I sat working on my laptop yesterday a.m. (cursing a bit as it slowly moved through its motions), Howard walked out and asked if I would be upset if my Christmas gift arrived early. "Of course not", I replied. And, voila!, he walked out with a small box and bag containing a Macbook Pro!!!
Wow! Totally blown away. I had considered asking for a new laptop, but thought it extravagant; after all, I was dealing with the 'slowness', and it was working, eventually. I had also (secretly) been watching Mac users with some envy -- they all seem to fly around their keyboards, using multiple screens, have music, etc., etc., etc.
Now I have one - a Mac. And, now I have ANOTHER challenge. To become a 'switcher' (I think that's the word the author of MacBook for Dummies gives people like me.). That same author says we are VERY intelligent people -- that's a good thing.
So, down to the Apple store with both computers in hand (to transfer data); will pick them up today and get a short intro. My very generous husband also purchased tutorials and support -- so, lots of help for this challenge.
This is short because I'm using his computer, and he needs to get to work on it.
Exciting days ahead,
