I got my macbook!!
I am in shock. It feels good to be back in the mac world, after almost 20 years away. (OK, I can't believe that I'm old enough to have something in my life gone for 20 years...) Anyway, after being one of the first owners of the Apple IIe, using my Macintosh Plus in college, and starting my career at 3M lugging my "portable" MacPlus... I'm finally back with a sleek new 13" macbook. I chose the smaller version for weight and portability options - the 15" would have been nice, but I never would have taken it as many places.
Adding to the general computer euphoria around here - We purchased a new cable modem and router. Went for the big guns - Docsis 3 modem... on initial setup the Comcast speed test clocked it at 60 Mbps on a wired connection pinging a server here in the twin cities. Actual use on wireless connection is more like 20 Mbps, not bad considering we pay for the 16 Mbps service! The Comcast rep promised me that they wouldn't throttle me down, but that I might not always get that level of performance. I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Went for the N gigabit router with usb port, so we're good to go. I plan on connecting either an external HD or a printer, but that's a project for AFTER I get all my stuff transferred to my mac.
Oh, and that crushing depression that I mentioned in an earlier post? Gone. :)
