Learning My Way Around

I recently purchased a new lap top computer. It was my first foray away from the PC format to Apple. I am very pleased with the speed and utility of the Mac Pro, but adjusting has been diferent.

This, for instance, is my first blog with the new computer. It has taken me days to remember what the connection was. I did not have it transferred before I left town on this road trip and had not written the access codes and numbers. Finally, I got it figured out after remembering that passwords are ALWAYS case sensitive even if address lines are not. Mixing the proper combinations made me feel like a safe-cracker. I don't know how many times I must have been one letter or one capital letter off.

Anyway, now I am in operation. The beauty of the blog is that I can attach photos and videos which I can't do with the regular columns that I write for the web site. Not that I have much to add here today, but I will. As soon as I figure out how to integrate my video camera with this computer I will do that. So far I have been able to download in...but not sent out. Oh, I can use the web cam and attach one of my pontifications, but I want to be able to actually show you something at times.

It is a work in progress. Hopefully, by the time we get into Milwaukee and certainly in San Diego I will have figured EVERYTHING out.
