Day 17

Hello,

I am now an Apple user… or do you say Mac user? Regardless, I got a Mac Mini with a nice monitor last Friday, spent all day yesterday learning the in’s and out’s of the OS and now I’m hooked. I seriously can’t believe it took me this long to jump on board with OSX, especially with my background in UNIX.

First of all, the display is undefinable gorgeous and the design of the interface is perfectly simple. The reboot cycle time is like a brief hiccup in time, if you blink you’ll miss it. And what about the terminal window?!? How do you go back to a windows box when you have a BSD-based OS with a terminal interface?

I literally feel reborn. In fact, the CTO for the new company I am working for said that when he went to a Mac is was like changing religions. Now I know exactly what he was referring to. I have been through the default mail application and I love it. I will be syncing up my contacts and calendar today. If they are anything like like the other apps I’ve used, it will be a walk in the park. Leave a comment if you have any suggestions for a new Mac user?

    Sounds like you are enjoying your new Mac?
    Your weight is like mine. Up one, down two, up three, down two.!
    I need to get a grip on my weight.
    I hope I can be a dedicated as you are to not drinking, and me to not eat incorrectly. We shall see at the end of the year. I want to loose 20 pounds.
    Hope we both make it.

    Love MOM

      I am enjoying my new Mac… It is definitely something I would love to learn more about.

      I got a new digital scale and that is my main reason for the increase in weight. It is more accurate than the one at the gym I was using so I’m going to go by its numbers now.

    I didn’t know what I said to you would be posted.
    This makes my response under great control.
