This is a quick blog entry to update you on the progress of my homecoming to the Mac.
The system arrived on Monday night. I was impressed with the job Apple did at packing my laptop and how quickly I was able to open the box without giving myself serious cuts.
I didn’t boether following the manual’s recommendation to plug the laptop in. I figured I’d turn it on initially, get it set up and then give it a good charging. The unit was fully charged.
Setting it up took less than ten minutes, minus the Voiceover tutorial. I opened Mail, set up my mail settings and downloaded a bunch of messages from the server. During this process, I got a notice that software udpates were available. I downloaded them using the house’s wireless connection and I was amazed to see that I was getting over a meg a minute for a transfer rate.
The downloads installed themselves, as well as the firmware update for the new Mac Book Pro.
Today, I set up iTunes and imported my first CD. Now, I am comfortable enough to get on here and blog without having to set up special software.
For those of you reading in Canada, Global National did a story on the accessibility of the new iPhone. the word is getting out.
I’ll report more once I have a chance to play around a bit more with the MBP.
Until next time….
