New laptop!

[elaby]

Good god, this shiny new MacBook is REALLY SHINY. I downloaded Firefox and Yahoo Messenger and I'm looking at the GIMP page. I'm typing this from my new LJ clienty thingamajig. All I have to do now is get all the stuff I want over onto this computer :) I fear I'll never use my desktop again, but I imagine I will.

But not for schoolwork! *cue maniacal laughter*

At least not for a while. Anyway, I'm very excited about this laptop. I've got to play around with Pages (the word processor) more to see how it works, and go poking around Keynote to discern just what that program does. I think it's a PowerPoint-like presentation-designing program.

So far, the only problem I'm running into is that I can't get AirPort to connect to our wireless :\ Hopefully that's the wireless's problem and not the computer's, but since our wireless has ALWAYS been finicky, I figure that's probably it.

*goes to explore some more*

Yay! Another Mac user *hug*

Keynote is nice, It is what Powerpoint should be.

I'd recommend that you maybe keep an eye on http://www.macfixit.com/ before you install any updates on the Mac. Some in the past have been a bit buggy - I usually look at that site and see what luck others are having before I let the computer install updates.

Enjoy your new computer!

Ooh, thank you for the advice! The computer will ask me before installing updates, right? Or will I have to change the settings so it'll do that?

I'm glad to be another Mac user ^_^

It will probably pop up a windows saying there are a bunch of updates to install. I'm pretty sure they didn't change things in the latest version of OSX so that it will install updates by default. It should still ask you.

Okay. Thanks a lot :)
