Nerd Alert!

There are many times when you make a switch that people ridicule you for. They think you paid too much, or you got too little or you won't be able to do the things that other people do, but this picture sums up, in vision and deed, the vast difference between the mindset of Apple and the mindset of Dell as well as the act itself of setting up and using said machines.

Mac kills the Dell.

And, WOW, that Mac is beautiful.

ps, if you can't read the print the first is an Apple iMac, the second is the Dell XPS 410.

Google Rules My Life

When I got to the coffee shop today, I immediately opened four applications. Gmail, Google Docs and Spreadsheets, Google Calendar and Google Reader. I looked at my tabs and realized that everything that starts my day was managed by Google. So I immediately went to Blogger, owned by Google, to tell y'all. So, anybody else have applications that completely rule their lives - or at least that they don't get through the day without?

Meet my new PowerBook, Mac


I am typing to you from my brand new PowerBook. Yes! I have it! It is in my possession, running my programs, doing just about everything I did before. I love it. It feels so neat to type on it. The key touch is softer, making typing a bit easier. It is smaller, so it's cute. And it loads programs faster than my Dell did. My husband has been looking out for me because when he found this deal, he snatched it up. Anyway, of course I'm finding it a little bit confusing working with a new operating system, but Mac is so nice, he pretty much leads me to everything and anything I don't know, my husband tells me. This has been fun, so far, discovering everything it will do, learning that I've installed a program incorrectly, being able to cheer myself on when I figure something out (go me!)... I'm just having alot of fun right now. Anyway, it is well past time to go to bed. Enjoy your day, everyone.

New Baby

Last night, my husband brought home a new baby. He's not mine yet, but I have high hopes. He had to be cleaned up a bit, we'll probably have to get a new battery, and I'm hoping to get one of those fancy schmancy stands that swivel as well, but I may soon have a brand new used computer.

It's so purty! It's nice and has a grey case and is small. I thought I'd hate a small computer. I'm always looking at the widescreens, but when I was playing with Mac last night (that's his name, Mac), I not only liked it, but it was a great complement to my office because its screen was everything I have now, but it was small enough to see the television screen without stretching or sitting at odd angles. I can watch and type at the same time!

My husband has told me several times which computer it is. It's a 12" Powerbook. If I can find a picture, I'll scrounge it up for you. I'm really excited about it. It's much faster, so I can do all my searching, watching, listening and writing without the irritating lag I've experienced with my Dell. I'm so happy right now... I could cry... but I don't do that.
