Jun. 10th, 2008 06:57 pmHaving fun with my pretty new Mac Book today.
I bought a portable hard drive for transporting over all the stuff from my old computer. It took a whole half an hour for like 2000 songs and 3000 images plus documents. Totally worth the $80.
I've discovered I will have to actually go out and buy Windows to put on my computer if I want it, because it has to be a full installation disk blah blah blah and all that is available through the U is upgrades, and all I have is the reinstall disk from my old PC. I looked on UMart (the university place for electronics discounts) and there are a million friggin' versions of Windows on there and I am afraid of buying the wrong one. Bah. Guess I'll have to get used to OSX for a while.
But I did download a bunch of freeware.
I have Open Office (because the office disc I have is for PC), Puzzle Pirates of course, Microsoft Messenger, StuffIt!, GIMP and a couple of little programs that let me make pretty colored folders.
Next up is AdAware (free) and Symantec Antivirus (free through the U).
I'm sure there are other things I want to put on there, but I can't think of them right now.
