My new toy, and I'm still trying to figure it out.If you asked me ten years ago, I would never have considered an Apple computer. Probably it's because back then, the only advantage Macs offer is that it's virus free (for me, a former gamer and hardware freak, at least).
But now I feel I'm going to eat my own words. Yesterday, I bought my first Mac, a 2.4Ghz MacBook. I actually wanted a MacBook Pro, but I couldn't justify the $400 difference for a first timer like me.
I'm not making a total switch, at work I will still use Windows. Nor am I complaining about Windows, which is why a lot people shift. I just want to try something new and see if it will simplify the way I process photos (and most of my computing needs). And thanks to the new Intel-based Macs, I can run Windows anytime.
So far, I'm enjoying my new machine. But I still can't figure out how to backup my pictures from iPhoto. When I get back home, I will install all the utilities that came with my DSLR, but for now, iPhoto is my only resource (and Google).
By the way, a big thanks to two of my aunts. My Tita Nery for driving us the whole day yesterday, and to Tita Tess, for the base pass. I actually got my unit from an air force base here in Northern California, which means it's tax free.

That swine flu thing is scary, especially that it's flu season here in the US. It's quite cold here in Fremont, and it's a lot colder back in San Francisco. Not that I miss Manila's hot and humid climate, but a little heat is very much welcome.

And I seem to be behind what's happening back home. Thankfully we chanced upon The Filipino Channel (TFC), and The Philippine Star is also a big help in updating us.
Now it's time for me to explore Fremont a little bit more. See you guys soon.
