As many of you know, one of my life long dreams has been to have and own my very own Apple Computer. With the coming of the new year often means tax season. With the return we got this year we have taken care of a few smaller things, but the major treat for me was to realize my dream and get an Apple MacBook Pro 13”. I’m very happy to finally have one.

Having used it for a few days I am remembering all the things I love about OSX on Mac., and all the things I loath about Windows. I am fortunate in that the important software from the old Ruby iMac works on my new one like MS Office for mac, and AppleWorks. I’ve also found some new amazing things in the new OSX like QuickTime X, which makes capturing video of the desktop, video or audio from a device really easy. As is often the case with many programs like Office, Adobe Photoshop,

and others there are extended, or extra functions in OSX versus their Windows “equivalents.” But what was new to me is that a game called World of Warcraft also has extra features not available on other platforms. Next, a handy tool for those with Gmail accounts, Google Chrome can sync bookmarks across computers and platforms. Making it easy to save and share your bookmarks across all the computers you use Chrome on.

Over all I’m very excited to have my new lappy, boasting a 7 hour integrated battery, an amazingly clear, bright, and colorful 13” display, and of course the star of the show OSX, only the best and most user friendly operating system ever!
