I finally bought a new laptop! :) And it's NOT a PC! I've been a PC-er all my life... and I've finally converted over to a mac after two long years of deciding and saving money. I don't know why I didn't convert earlier. These things run so smoothly!
I went out to the Apple Store today and bought a new MacBook Pro. I had some gift cards that really helped. (Thanks so much.)
I am so in love with this thing. It's incredibly sexy... it has a mind of it's own. When the lights are bright, the screen turns brighter all on its own. When it gets dark, it dims and then the keyboard lights up. How does it do that?! I'm in awe.
And I'm loving being able to just sit on the couch and waste the night away in front of my computer. YAY!
I have photos to post of the whole shindig of opening up the box... it was quite thrilling.
Christopher complained that my last post wasn't "wedding related." Well seeing as how I am the bride, Adam is the groom... anything involving me (or us) is therefore "wedding related." Ha ha.
What's nice is I'll be able to update this blog more frequently because I'll most likely be using it a lot more than the desktop. WOO HOO!
I'm moving it over to a mac.com in the next month.
And the computer itself is going to be great to use for "wedding related" stuff... like the "Save the Dates" that we'll be making in the next month. :)
It's strange learning a whole new OS though. Learning how to get around and do simple things that you normally take for granted. Like desktop shortcuts or even the Windows Start Menu and control panel. It's going to take some time to get used to not have a right-click too. It's not totally different than a PC, I know, but it's just slightly different enough for me to have to actually slow down and figure it out. Give me a week or two and I think I'll be a complete Mac convert.
Oh it truly is so sexy...
I'm so happy.
Okay, I've been on this thing for hours and it's past midnight now. Time to go to bed.

Welcome to the club! Isn't it more beautiful on this side? You can actually do a 'right-click' - hold two fingers down on the trackpad while you click and it should bring up all the right-click menus you're looking for. If that doesn't work... be sure that the option is turned on in preferences.
Yeah, it's a bit weird having to get used to the Mac way of doing things, but once you see how it all works and seems to just know what you want to do it's amazing. =)
