Well it's been a pretty interesting week this week,
there has been a heap going on. I've been packing and folding and packing and
folding, and boxing and bubble wrapping like a crazy person!
In amongst all of the packing going on, I've been
doing little bits of work here and there. Now, over the past few months
(probably about 12 in total lol), my wonderful Asus Notebook, has become...
well, a little senile… I bought it in about February 2012, and well when it
comes to computer years, based on hours used, I think my laptop was probably
about 134 years old! Which in turn probably means that it should be taken to a
paddock and shot (Tommy Jordan styles, minus the commentary, and maybe plus a
few words… ).
This morning, while my little Asus took 10 minutes to
boot and open Microsoft Outlook I made an executive decision to actually go
through with purchasing a new computer of some sort today!
So here is where my love story begins!
I went in to the Apple store a few days ago to ask
about their 17” MacBook Pro. The Sales guy (Brett – props for being awesome!!) looked
into a few things for me, and gave me a pretty good run down of what the MBP
does and can do! Well, with it’s aluminum case, and shiny black buttons,
anti-glare screen and 2.5ghz processor…. I was in Lust! Lol It’s taken me approximately a week to go back
and find Brett, and decide to dive head first into the world of the MacBook
Pro!
Well a little over $3500 later, I left with a shiny
new toy all of my own! Including a copy of Microsoft Office for Mac, and a copy
of a program called Parallels (which will bridge me to a Windows operating
system when I need to work in Windows).
Fantastic!
I’ve had my little toy at home for just over 6
hours, and well my initial lust, has turned into LOVE! Yep, I’m in LOOOVE! It’s fantastic! I’ve got all my programs set
up, all my emails address on the one machine, and everything in the one place!
It’s brilliant!
Well I’m making this short, but I will keep you all
updated over the next few weeks, and see if my love affair with my mac, is
indeed a long lasting relationship.
Hope you are all safe and well!

Ps. I think my Mac needs a name? any ideas?
