MacBook Pro
I got a new computer!! Since I’m going back to school in September I was able to get a discount on a brand new MacBook Pro and a brand new iPod!
I’m still working on getting all my files and software transferred from my iMac to my new MacBook Pro. I’m pretty much done but I keep finding random things I’ve forgotten.
I am still getting used to the MacBook Pro. Smaller screen res and not a full keyboard lol. It throws me off a little bit.
Also, I was having some problems with my internet too, but I think I got that fixed… for now. lol
Anyways, I think I have mostly everything work now, but knowing me, I’ll find something else that I’ve forgotten over the next couple days. The good thing is that I have the same version of Mac OS X on both my iMac and MacBook Pro so I haven’t had anything new to learn as far as that goes. The trackpad on the other hand, is way different than any other laptop I’ve ever used, so far I like it but I keep accidentally coming across new things it does and it then I sit and play with it for 10 minutes. I get very easily distracted lol.
Something else I noticed is that when I’m typing the keys are louder than on my keyboard for my iMac. Although, I think it is still a little quieter than the keys on my old laptop lol.
I love the back light though!! My room is kind of dark right now because I haven’t turned on my light and my blinds are closed and I can see the keys, no problem. With my iMac’s keyboard, or any other keyboard I’ve ever used I would have turned on the light in my room by now because I couldn’t see the letters. Well, maybe not because I don’t look at the keys that much and I have been known to sit in the dark with my computer and type long blog entries or emails lol. But still, I didn’t even think about turning on the light until I started talking about the backlight on the keyboard.
Now, I have to teach my parents how to use my iMac, since they’re taking it. Its been about 7 years or so since they’ve used a Mac, other than the random times they used mine or my grandpa’s. They’ve been using Windows XP (Windows 98 and 2000 before that) so its a big change for them.
Anyways, I guess I’m going to go take a shower. I just finished exercising and I haven’t done anything else today except fix my internet and eat breakfast. Amazingly, I haven’t turned on any TV in the house yet today. That’s actually quite rare, I always turn on the TV for background noise or when I exercise, but I’ve been listening to music all morning (mostly from iTunes, but used iPod when I exercised).
I had a whole bunch of other things I was going to ramble on about with my new computer but I’ve forgotten most of them now. I’ll probably remember later lol. Don’t be surprised if I add stuff to this post later.
