New Computer

I am typing this from Allan's new laptop, which arrived safe and sound last night, poor UPS man looking like a drowned rat. It's a pretty nice laptop, even if it IS a Mac ;-P The keyboard is a bit funky-- the keys are spaced out a bit more than they usually are, but I like it! It also comes built in with a webcam, here's a sample photo taken just minutes earlier:



I'm still miffed that there is only one mouse button. I don't think I'll ever take Macs that seriously until they start making laptops with TWO buttons. And yes, I know I can emulated right-clicks and middle-clicks but I prefer the convenience of actual, physical buttons :-P I also use the PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys with more frequency than I realized, and the lack of such keys on a Mac laptop keyboard make it that much less user-friendly for me.

I enjoyed a nice, quiet day today, sans boys. Allan took Todd on an extended shopping trip south of town and I got to enjoy a nice, peaceful apartment in which to do whatever I pleased. So, I got a chance to catch up on lots of reading, yay! As much as I love my boys and love hanging out with them, it's always nice to have a "just me" day once in a while. Back to the grind now... starting with dinner! :-9
