I personally don't know very much about what I sent you, but my son is pretty sharp and seems to know a lot of these links to get the answers he needs. He's been a Mac user for about 20 plus years now. I think Mac's are addictive! LOL! Good luck.<br /><br />Hugs and Prayers, <br /><br />Cynthia XXCynthia Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222413324022459669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-13563516743727870562011-08-31T20:50:15.689+02:002011-08-31T20:50:15.689+02:00Hi Cynthia!

Some of those are going to be really useful to me!<br /><br />We have 5 or 6 machines here that home, but we got rid of all of the legacy machines a while ago as we just needed the space. As of yet though only the one Mac :) And unless the 17" machines come down by about 1000 euros from their current price I just don't see me adding to the collection. Shame, as I am starting to actually quite like the machine itself (still unsure of OSX though), especially the fact the keyboard is just so solid. It is very nice to type on.<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-77921945931439609952011-08-30T21:37:42.049+02:002011-08-30T21:37:42.049+02:00Hi Stacy,

If not, let me know and I'll ask him again.

I'll let you know as soon as I know something.<br /> <br />By the way, I think my son has no less than 4 or 5 machines running at home. He has some where around 75 Macs of various vintages in storage at his home.<br /><br />Needless to say, he's a Mac fan.

Stop calling it that!') and half the people seem to think that I am one of them now (the BA's - 'OH! You have a real computer now!'). And I still think that I am one of the few people who can see a machine for what it is. A machine :)<br /><br />As for uses, basic use is fine. I am tip-toeing my way around and getting there. What I really need is a cheat sheet / quick reference guide to compare the terminal commands in OSX to to the DOS commands in Windows.<br /><br />I don't suppose you could ask him if he knows of one could you?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-30881304968117832842011-08-27T17:29:55.979+02:002011-08-27T17:29:55.979+02:00Hi Stacy,

I won't say I love it because I'm too computer illiterate. I'm learning more every day. But I have to say that I like it much better than my experiences with MS. The really neat thing is, my son is a certified tech for an Apple warrantee shop. If I ever achieve just half of what he knows and can do with my computer, I'll consider myself a genious. He keeps my computer running at top efficiency. I'm set up so that he can access my computer from his home or work so that he can fix something if necessary.<br /><br />If you have a problem that you can't fix, maybe I can pass it on to my son and see if he can. You never know.<br /><br />Did you know that Apple is the largest corporation in the US now? They are actually bigger than DuPont.<br /><br />Hugs and Prayers,<br /><br />Cynthia XXCynthia Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222413324022459669noreply@blogger.com
