The sometimes amusing and boring life of being parents.

Mac Atack



We had an appointment with an Apple Genius today.  We wanted to check out the new Mac Book Pro.  We instantly fell in love, and we are now the proud owners of the new Mac Book Pro, the 15".  We also bought a new printer.  We really didn't need a new printer, but you got $100 off if you bought a computer, so it made the printer we wanted next to nothing.  The printer is wireless, so I can't wait to be in the living room and be able to print without having to hook everything up!

So, far I really, really like this laptop.  I never ever thought I would be getting a Mac, but it just seems so easy to use.  The iphoto is really cool, and it does a lot of things that I need it to.  We also got MobileMe, which basically stores your data (email, calendar, contacts, photo, videos, etc) in an online "cloud."  This way we can upload a ton of pictures and videos for the grandparents.  We are always limited to what videos and pictures we can upload.  So, this should be good for them.

Anyway, I plan to do a full blown review once we really use the laptop more.  But like I said, so far I love it!

I am very excited about your new computer...especially the more pictures for grandparents part!

Madison is very cute in her new hat, but she will probably never be a snow baby. She needs to come to Indiana to see what snow is really like!

Tammy loves her Macbook Pro and so do I. If Schlumberger didn't provide me a laptop I would buy a Mac for sure. It runs Microsoft Office better than my Dell!

I got a 17" MacBook Pro in April and love it love it love it! I've got a 22" monitor for when I need more visual space and I can use it in place of my laptop monitor - or use the two seamlessly side by side, dragging from one monitor to the next -- it is awesome!

You'll love the Mobile Me... I've got tons of pics and some movie clips on mine -- you'll get a lot of use out of it!!

Congrats!
