Our First Apple

Filed under: General, Life — Jason Coleman @ 10:02 pm

Actually, I grew up on Mac’s. That’s right, my family actually own 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…

  1. I’m confused. What’s a printer again? Is that the thing that creates .pdf files?
