Well I have put it off for long enough; I stop simply staring at this gorgeous piece of equipment and decide its time to begin the 'mac' journey!
I am greeted by a simple installation process where I input all the relevant info, and within a few minutes I am ready to go! Its a strange experience, as when I re-installed xp on my old computer it took roughly enough time to do my household chores and go for a jog around the block! I am a bit put off as the OS looks slightly different to the ones in the store, until my lovely fiance (I will refer to him as FH for simplicity), pointed out that I still had to install leopard myself!
So I pop in the cd, and this time I am greeted by this short video (which I think was surrounded by quite a bit of hype when leopard was first released), and even watching this you are in awe of the steps apple has gone to making the mactop 'nice' to use! After the video is over, you are brought through the installation pages which are 10 times easier to use than the previous Tiger OS, and within moments I hear the gentle "logging in" tune (which is far superior to that of the XP log in noise, which is frankly the most irritated cluster of notes microsoft could have come up with!).
Now for the overwhelming bit: my mac is completely different in functionality to my previous computer running xp and linux! After much complaining and whining, I finally log into safari to log onto my emails. I then spend a bit of time taking photos in photo booth: the new moving background keeps me occupied for a while! But one thing is for sure: I have alot to learn about my new mac before I can use it to its full potential.
