i had thought about getting the air for the weight but couldn't justify the price...hehe |
Definitely the Mac Book Pro...save your money...well worth the wait! I think the 13" is $999.00 and there are no "deals" on them. If ever, usually around Christmas and maybe 10% off, from Apple. Good luck! |

I can't wait until you get yours - we can learn together!! :D |
I'm having so much fun on this new laptop!! :D Sorry, just had to share that. :p I found out earlier today that the local Apple Stores have free classes for the public in different subjects and software. So, I enrolled in 2 they have coming up in the next several days - the Getting Started Workshop (learn how to use a Mac) & the Ultimate Upgrade: Switching to a Mac from Windows. Ok I know you're getting sick of me talking about this but I am having a blast!! :rolleyes: |
Quote:
I know you wrote that you have signed up for classes -- another great resource is "The Missing Manual" available at Amazon -- there are versions for OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, depending on which one you have. The books contains all of the essentials as well as advanced tips and tricks. Best of all, the book is the best written, well-arranged computer book I have ever read. |

LOL that's where mine's going as well, hence the two week wait. I was going for the 15" screen but the 17" one is awsome but so is the price! I am trying to talk myself in for just going for it but having a hard time with the price difference. Still trying to talk myself into it tho.:( I"ll probably win.:p Yes, I have been to one class already, even without the computer and I so look forward to knowing there is help when I need it and believe me I'm going to need it. Enjoy Bonny, it's really an awsome computer from just playing with it in the store, can't wait to get mine. Having a laptop will also allow me to get on YT in the evening, since my PC was in the bedroom and tv in the family room, I just never got on it at night. |
Quote:
I'll probably be getting on more in the evenings, too. I never even got internet service when I moved into my house a couple of years ago because I knew I wouldn't use it with my desktop. I'm trying to promise myself that I won't get online too much in the evenings - I did last night and my babies weren't happy with me at all. :p |
Quote:
of how the apple works. What can be hooked up, what's compatable with it, windows 7 etc, so it was not quite what I had hoped for. However, it is really nice that they offer these classes to the public. I wanted to see exactally how and what is in the system but you need to purchase one before they allow you to get that info. That's ok because it's something to look forward to and I am really excited about it. |
Quote:
I asked my local store about signing up for the annual one-on-one sessions for $99 like you mentioned, but they said I had to buy the computer from them to be eligible for those classes. Hopefully, the free ones and tips from helpful friends (hint, hint) will get me what I need to know. :) I'm so excited for you!! Two weeks isn't far at all - but I know it'll feel like forever. |
Quote:
LOL ok your on. Whatever I learn I will pass it along then you can explain it to me again :p |

Just kidding! But I really do need to start of list of questions - there's so much basic stuff that I have absolutely no idea how to do on the Mac. For example, for those Mac geniuses out there, how do you make the internet window bigger to fit the full screen like mine does in Windows? And I was sending a long pm last night that I wanted to copy first (I'd already lost it once)...but I have no idea how to copy on the Mac (it's just Control+C in Windows). Can anyone help?? :) |
Quote:
Here is how to copy and paste: How to Copy and Paste on a Mac: 8 steps - wikiHow "Command" is used as "Control." Right clicking should also work though.:confused: |
Quote:
The minimize and maximize circles are the first thing I tried, but they only enlarge or reduce the screen a little bit - I can't get the internet window to fill the screen. I also thought of dragging the edge of the window to enlarge it, but I haven't learned how to click and drag with the touchpad yet. That's something I'm going to google right now. Thanks again! |
Quote:
Clicking and dragging with the touchpad is easy. If you don't want to do it one handed, just click where you need to and hold the button down with one hand and move your finger over the actual pad in the direction that you want the screen to expand... |

I've been having too much fun playing on the internet in the evenings that I haven't even tried to do anything else yet. I can't imagine the questions I'll have then! :rolleyes: |
