The BIG purchase!

As a retirement gift from Malibu Boats - they wanted to give Dick a laptop! So, the decision had to be made..... PC or Mac?
We are PC people! Did we want/dare to take the plunge? After weighing it all out over the past few weeks....we made the PLUNGE!!!
The water is GREAT and I am LOVING our MacBook Pro!! It came with a $100 rebate for a printer too! We also got the Windows Office so documents, spreadsheets and powerpoints are still familiar to us. We also got the One to One - which means we can go to the Apple store - right behind our house in SF - and one of their 'genius' will sit down with us and explain or work with us on anything we want - for one year. This will be very helpful. The people at the store are soooo helpful, nice and SMART!!
Dick has yet to really learn/play on it by himself - we did play for awhile with the photo booth last night - gosh - hillarious! It comes with a camera installed in the screen and the program is similiar to stepping into a 'photo booth' but you can smudge, swirl, mirror, fish eye your photo! It is sooooo funny!!
He will be giving his work laptop back to Malibu soon and then he will be spending more time with it......or maybe he can use the old PC where he is more comfortable..... hahahaha....

One of the coolest parts? The 'mouse pad' works like the iPhone....to maximize and minimize a page of a document, a photo, a website font, you spread out the fingers on the pad!!! Amazing!! Technology is so cool!! It is FAST too!! LOVE IT!!! If you are in need of a new computer soon......TAKE THE PLUNGE!!!! Sorry Microsoft!

Since I got the iphone I am totally an Apple girl now. I think they are rad. If/when I get my own personal laptop (since my old one is barely hanging in there) I will get a MAC. Plus, aren't they beautiful? Especially when they are brand new. Ohhh la la!
