I am proud to say that I now have a brand new white MacBook! I just got it two days ago, so I am still learning about Mac, having never used it before. I put iWork on the laptop which I hope that I will use and enjoy. Tonight I starting to put Mac Os X on it, which is going to take 3 1/2 hours just for disc 1! Before I started uploading the operating system, I uploaded some pictures that I took today, and checked them out in iPhoto. I was really pleased with how easily I could flip through the photos and adjust the lighting and contrast. This summer I am planning to sell jewelry through the internet, so I will use my laptop because of the photo program and web features. I currently connect to the internet using a verizon wireless USB card when away from home, but I can use my PC's wireless internet when working at home. I like the Pages program, but I'm not sure how I will print documents out. I originally thought I could save it on a flash drive and print it out on my PC's printer, but I am not sure that will work. Hopefully it will! I looked at the Keynote program, and I was pleased to see all of the different slideshow backgrounds you could choose from! I am anxious for the operating system to finish uploading, because I haven't had much time to explore everything yet since I had been busy with completing my registration and establishing my internet connection. Today I also figured out how to make my computer more secure by making it so you had to type your password before you could enter the computer. I also disabled the guest user. Anyway, I will continue to post my findings after I learn more about my MacBook, and if anyone has any tips, I would be thrilled to read them! I mentioned earlier that I would be selling jewelry through the internet this summer. It will probably be through eBay, and I may create a website or a new blog to advertise the jewelry as well, complete with pics, measurements, and descriptions. If anyone is interested, please check back for updates!
