And you wonder why I wanted a MAC?

The start to my day isn’t the what I wanted.  I came into turn on my Dell desktop with XP professional no doubt and it locks up in the loading window’s phase.  You wonder why I wanted a MAC?    To each his own right?  A friend of mine says after the research she has done she never get a MAC, I asked her about it then she mentioned about having to make changes to “graphics” and that others in a scrapbooking community complain about not being able to open some kits.  I don’t have an issue with my Macbook.  I even have a copy of photoshop elements on it.  Once I tackle the blasted text tool then I will be scrapping on my laptop here or there.  But I can open jpegs, gifs, and pngs with no issues.  So I am unsure what others are having a hard time with.  I don’t even need winzip to open a zip file,  Mac can open it fine.

The only reason I was going to keep my desktop was the fact of Paint Shop Pro.  I am a seasoned user and also because of the mail program Incredimail because I make skins for them and have done some custom orders for a set with includes a screensaver.  But right now I have no tolerance with Window issues.

I am going to purchase the program needed to use windows on my mac in the near future and see how it works just for a few reasons.

1.  Paint Shop Pro

2.  Gaming…there are a few games I like to finally get to play like CSI Miami

I really think if Corel made a version of Paint Shop Pro that was MAC compatible, they would open up doors to a lot of Mac users…. and profits too!

So will I spend my day today troubleshooting windows?  I sure as hell hope not!

Got my MAC on!

Ok I have to tell you how very excited I am with my new found present, a MACBOOK.  I am totally loving it.  I been setting it up and exploring in between my busy day.  I can not get over how fast it is and how very simple it is to use.  To think I didn’t even need the help from the Genius Bar!  Oh yeah…..loving it

Safari Browser

A close friend of mine told me how she has downloaded the Apple Safari Browser to use on her personal computer.  So I thought I give it a try and I have to tell you I really love it.  Simple, safe and very user friendly.  I have been having a lot of issues with the Firefox browser “crashing” ever since they updated to 3.0.  Seeing how I have my eye on wanting a Mac in the first place, I felt it fitting to take this browser for a test run.  I absolutely love it.  It so fast too, I kid you not.  If your frustrated with your current internet browser, why not take Safari for a test drive.  I know I am not disappointed at all.  So thanks Dawn for sharing your experience with me!!
