Hello Everyone,
After many years of being on the other side, I've seen the light and I'm finally seeing what all the noise about Macs is all about. After a couple of months of research and lurking the various boards, the plunge has been made. Actually, I was saving up to purchase an iMac or Macbook, but my wife surprised me with a brand spanking new 20' iMac as a graduation present (after many years online and night classes
). What a gal huh! Well, I've been playing around for the past few days here are a couple of my observations/questions.
WOW! I'm really impressed so far how fast, intuitive and responsive OS X is. At first I thought something was wrong with how fast this thing is ready to go after reboots and when awaking from sleep.
I've got all my iTunes music, contacts from my Treo as well as all my many pics migrated from my Window PC to my Mac. I really haven't noticed a degradation in system performance. Please tell me my Mac won't get increasingly sluggish/slower as I load it up with programs and files as "my slower than a turtle" Dell has become over the past couple months/years.
The only noticeable thing I am not quite use to yet with my iMac is the lack of having the right click button. Something tells me I will just have to suck it up and get use to using shortcuts or the menu tabs.
Is something wrong with me with wanting to spending so much time on my new toy (I mean productivity tool ;D ). My wife has been yelling at me for the past couple of nights telling me to get to get off that dang Mac and get to bed.
Well enough of my rambling for now. However this will not be the last time you all hear from me, I know there will be many questions from me in the upcoming days and weeks, so I ask everyone to be patient with this newbie when I ask off the wall or obvious questions. This forum has been a life saver with assisting me with this transition. There is so much useful information. Thanks and I look forward to getting to know and learning from everyone. Later.
