Mac for life

I've never owned a mac before, desktop, laptop, or other. I don't consider the IPod a mac per se, no more than a Sony CD Player is, say, a Sony computer. In my first post, I mentioned that William bought me a MacBook for graduation. This post is about that mac.

I have a 13", 2.16 GHz MacBook, v. 10.4.9. It's very nifty and spiffy looking. Despite it's considerably small size, the keyboard is wide enough for my big Hawaiian hands, which is of the utmost importance. It has many cool features readily available that I've never seen on other laptops or desktops for that matter, such as ITunes, a built-in webcam, a music mixer, DVD movie mixer, I could go on. Of course, I won't use all of the features, but they're great to have.

And possibly most important, I was able to use it right out of the box. You just fill in some information, much of further facilitated by my pre-existing ITunes account, and follow the instructions for installing things.

Also very cool is the magnetic power cord thing, so that, if you trip over it, instead pulling the entire Mac off the table or your lap, the cord just comes smoothly off.

I guess that covers the ways I love my new MacBook...
