Our household is slowly phasing out PCs and becoming a Mac only household. My primary computer is a Powerbook, Simeon uses a Macbook Pro, we have a G5 tower that we use as a server, neither of us can function without our iPhones, oh and we have a handful of iPods (a Shuffle, a Nano, and a 4th Generation 60GB). So to fully round out our collection we just bought a shiny new 24″ iMac. This was the final computer necessary to completely render our one remaining PC (our desktop computer) entirely useless. You can see that Simeon is a little excited about this.


Even Ana is happy about our “newest addition.” We have the screen saver set up to rotate through the (thousands of) pictures we have taken in the last year. She has fun watching pictures go by and shouting out, “Baby!” “Mama!” “Daddy!” or “Molly!” (all dogs are currently “Molly” at the moment) at the life-size monitor. That and she is very excited to occasionally walk by and wiggle the mouse or tap on the keyboard. You know, just like any future-geek would do.

While I am looking forward to having a computer that doesn’t crash every time I load more than one program at a time, I am also suffering from a little anxiety at losing my PC. I was really good on my PC. I knew tricks and shortcuts and how to use all the software. But it’s time this old dog learns some new tricks. Some more efficient and properly functioning tricks. In the mean time I am still trying to figure some things out. So bear with me while I muddle through learning all the shortcuts, keyboard differences, and anything else I haven’t come across yet. It’s a shiny, exciting, new world and I look forward to embracing all the Mac-y goodness I can get my hands on. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I am gonna go play with Photobooth, ’cause that is some good times!
