Well, that took long

So far, impala (yes, I named the new macbook impala, shut up, it was almost named TARDIS) has been settling in well. It talks to my wireless network and my printer. I really like the OS X operating system. It's also very lightweight and does seem more intuitive than a PC.

Ahahaha!

I can't be the only mac user around here to name their mac impala.

Um. My ipod might be named TARDIS. *snerk*

Home from the store, out of the box, and NAMED, so fast you're head will spin (it helps that there's a mac store less than a mile away from me).

You got it, you got it! Yay!

And you named it. *g* I think Impala's a cute name. *pets it*

does seem more intuitive than a PC.

That's my take on a Mac vs. a PC, too. The few times I've had to use a PC, it's driven me nuts because it doesn't seem as user-friendly.

So far, so good. The OS is really easy to use, I just have to get used to a few of the keys being different.

AW IMPALA is a cute name! :) (Does it say user: impala when you switch it on, or that's just your pet name?!)

I should name mine. I have gone as far to make the little icon that represents me be, randomly, a half naked picture of Chad Michael Murray (don't ask why, it appealed at the time, I should switch it out for Dean really). Names though. HMMM!!!

AND GOSH YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMPUTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOME! NAMED! NEW SHINY MACHINE TO PLAY WITH! AWESOME!

It asks you to name it when you do the setup thingie. I haven't figured my way around enough yet to start customizing...all I'm doing is poking around online to get used to a mac. Later in the weekend we will try actual productivity (fic editing still has to be on the PC since I haven't gotten word for mac yet).

Well, I've been researching this for a while (no really, I have!) and was at the mac store last night and today making up my mind. But it was all too easy to say, okay, I want that one and take it home. The mac store is really close to my apartment.
