Done

Here I am almost 81 years old and I have a new computer system, a MAC, and I am slowly getting used to it.

From everything I have read it seems that learning something new helps to keep our minds active as we age.

Well, since last Thursday when Mac arrived in our home my mind has been extremely active learning the different system. I had been using IE for the last 13 years, as long as I have been fooling around with a computer. But I am doing OK with Mac.

It will just take some getting acquainted and patience on both our parts.

Buddy seems to like Mac ok. He especially enjoyed all the attention we got with son, son in law, daughter, 14 year old grandson and 12 year old grandson all arriving to help me.

In my computer/guest room it felt like a "family reunion" during the set up and learning process.:)

Buddy and I enjoyed the attention.

Thanks for all your advice and input. I am just glad to have the decision behind me as I tend to over think choices.

Cheers

We all overthink these things Chancy...but I think you made a good choice. As I said before...you'll have little worry with the MAC about the ever-constant viruses floating around out there; and I think that's worth a lot. I hope you really enjoy your new baby...but of course, NOT more than Buddy. Hugs, Joy

As you may remember I went through something similar a year ago...went with PC and had mucho troubles...still do. I am glad I stopped by here. It seems that blogger will not let me add you to my list, so I have been missing your posts!

Good luck with the rest of the learning process, Chancy. Sounds like you are doing well up to this point.

I changed to an imac in the spring and have never regretted it. But...... it is a whole knew way of thinking, and if you've been a dedicated pc user then it takes a while to get used to the change.
