Today we picked up an iMac. OMG I am soo glad to be home again! You see, I used Mac's with my previous CPS job at a magnet grammar school. It was over 20 years ago, so they were pretty new then.
I witnessed and heard the death rattle of a Mac, endured the management of apps and their conflicts; I even gave a seminar on the great ways a teacher could use their Mac.
Then I switched to another CPS school, a high school this time, and was put into a PC lab. I had to learn how to use those nasty things. It was horrible but to make my conversion complete, I bought my first PC. The drama began almost immediately.
It was difficult to manage the virus controls, the pop-ups and the sloowwww connection. I thought it was my Internet Provider. I was ready to switch. Then my CPS school did a wonderful favor - I got laid off.
At first, if you read my blog at all, you'd know that at first I was pretty lost.
Not anymore...
I'm going in for my pension and I got an iMac.
We've closed on our reverse mortgage and we are planning a trip to Las Vegas first. I'm getting back on track with diet and exercise. (I always manage to mess up when I'm in flux.)
Best of all, I can write again and not worry about speed... it's there ... it's really there.
Thank you Steve Jobs.
Just tell me one thing - what do I do with all this PC equipment??
