Our First Apple

Actu­al­ly, I grew up on Mac’s. That’s right, my fam­i­ly actu­al­ly owned one of the orig­i­nal Mac­in­tosh com­put­ers. Angela just recent­ly got an iBook and they’ve changed a bit since then. They’re still loads of fun to use, although I’m learn­ing some of the kinks. I know, every­body says they’re so easy, how can any­one be con­fused. Well, there’s still loads to learn. Angela sure is hap­py, though.

One order of busi­ness, and I’m peti­tion­ing help here, is to get a new print­er than will play well with all our sil­i­con friends. I am hav­ing a real pain of a time get­ting either our HP Deskjet or Canon inkjet (both on net­work print servers) to work.

I have to say that I’m very pleased with her lit­tle com­put­er. Almost as much as she is. I know that I’ll be even hap­pi­er the next time we get on an air­plane and get our own in-flight movie on the iBook. Sure beats lug­ging her old Dell Lap­top around, and I do mean lug­ging.

Note: I’d real­ly like to say thanks to Jason J. for putting in some hours already, help­ing us set­up the iBook and port­ing over some of Ange­la’s stuff. He’s had some real­ly good tips and has been very patient. I’d also like to thank Chris W. in advance. He’s vist­ing next week­end, and though he does­n’t know it yet, is going to be help­ing a whole lot…
