Sorry, I'm allergic to Mac.


Can I still have a cookie?

Torn Rose 2009-08-07 01:10 AM

NO!

Torn Rose 2009-08-07 01:13 AM

However, I do wish I waited on the Vodka and weed... makes learning somewhat confusing...

Try bourbon and weed for a real challenge ;)

you won't regret the switch. Once you get used to the main differences don't be surprised if your productivity goes up.

Don't pour coffee in the keyboard.

You just gotta love tips from the experts ;)

Cleo 2009-08-07 08:19 AM

Once you go Mac you'll never go back.

NeoOffice is a very good free Microcrap office replacement.

Ah yes, that was a fun morning... I am still learning the basics, we decided late afternoon yesterday to get it and by that time rush hour had hit and the store in next to the airport so we had to wait and after looking around for an hour or so I wanted to synch my iTunes/iPhone/iPod and had to update 13 programs which took 2+ hours so I just went to bed.

So far I like it, but I still have to import my emails and install PhotoShop, everything else is already on my external hard drive so I'm not stressing any of that.

Cleo 2009-08-07 12:09 PM

Be sure to setup Timemachine, preferably with a Firewire drive or an Airport Extreme, but any drive will do.

So far the first issue I have, it's really slow loading some sites, like this board. It connected to my network with ease, and I've rebooted the Mac and router and modem but it still loads very slow on some sites, so this will be something I need to figure out.
