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*

I did updates this morning, but the only thing that they offered was an X11 update. The guy at the computer store said he had the same problem with his D-Link, but he was running a Dell, not a Mac, so googling would be a good idea.
