So, I don’t know how many of you out there are Windows-to-Mac converts, but it is a very strange transition, indeed. It’s one thing to have a new laptop to replace my old HP (bless it’s heart), but quite another to have a totally different operating system. Pretty much everything on the screen is completely foreign…except for iTunes.
At first I was likening the process to getting a new puppy when you already have a couple of adult dogs. You have a few years of experience under your belts, and they’re all pretty much the same, save a few temperament quirks. Just go back to the basics, right? Kind of like riding a bike.
Then, I realized it’s more like getting an iguana when all of your previous pets have been dogs. The iguana looks different, communicates differently and most noticeably, does not have a right mouse button wagging tail. But, the iguana doesn’t get all wiggy if you make the slightest change to your daily routine…it just seeks out the heat lamp and rides the wave, as it were.
The good news is, CU and I are now past the point where we just stand here and look at McDreamyMac (sounds like a new product from Kraft), or poke at it to see how it will react. Will it whip it’s head around and snarl, or will it make googly noises and ask for more love? So far, nothing but love.
CU is a big fan of Garage Band…especially one of the southern rock guitar riffs. Now he thinks he’s the next David Silver. We’ll keep you all apprised of future tour dates.
