A Week of Mac - Oh Happy Days
It`s been seven days since I started my “Mac-Career” and a week later, it’s safe to say that my expectations have not just been met but exceeded.
My reasons to get a Mac were to get a comfortable and user-friendly computer to work with. I certainly got that as Mac OS X is a blast to work with, even though I probably don’t even know half of it. But it’s another surprising feature that makes using the Mac very pleasant: It’s silent!
In the PC world, silent often means that you can still have a conversation in the room… if you talk loud enough. In case of the Mac Mini, silent means no noticeable noise.
When both the optical drive and the harddisk are not working, the Mac Mini can not be heard - Very usefull when full concentration is needed.It does have it’s downside though, now I barely can stand the noise my PC is making.
Another “feature” I like a lot is the Apple Keyboard. When I first tried it, I thought the keys felt sort of “Notebook-like” and not very good to type on. After a few tricky days, I’m completely used to the feeling and typing longer text is very comfortable. What’s not so pleasant is that some keys are aligned different compared to the PC. I`m still not used to look for the @ under the “L” key… I think it will take some more weeks until I´m totally used to the layout
Besides that, I spent most of the week getting Mac equivalents for all my favorite software and trying to make me feel at home on the new computer. A set of nice racing wallpapers (I´m a motorsports freak after all) helped…and the Mac OS-X changing-wallpapers feature helps making the most of them!
