I mentioned in an earlier post my purchase a few days ago at the local Apple store of a Mac-mini. I have been on a four day learning curve to reacquaint myself with the superior interface of the Mac operating system as compared to any version I've worked with of Microsoft's Windows. I have been loving it.
Today I wanted to organize photos stored on a USB flash drive. It was great to view the thumbnails, highlight and drag them into the files where I wanted them to be placed on the new little box. The whole thing is two inches by six inches by six inches. It's pretty amazing. Austin, the Apple associate who facilitated the sale, advised me that any of my USB peripherals I had used with the dead PC would work with my new system. He was correct.
I did discover I'm going to have to 're-construct' my iPod; which I understand.
It would have been nice to be able to import all those files as easily as the photos. I'm sure when I 'clean the iPod up;' it will be easy, too. That was the only thing that was not 'seamless' with the transition from system-to-system. Ironic that it's with another Apple product. I'm not a peer-to-peer 'pirate,' ya know? All my iPod tunes were loaded from discs or purchased from the iTunes store online and loaded onto the now dead PC's iTunes. I have to erase, re-synch and reload everything onto the iPod. They must have the technology to know it's me and that I haven't stolen any tunes. That is my only criticism.
Interesting for me, too, that now that I have a fast PC my broadband internet seems slow.
It is still cold outside in this part of the world.
I hope where ever you are that things are nice and warm.
Take care and have fun.
