The friggin’ mac is here !
Got my first ever mac - a shiny new mac book pro. And no, my wallet didn’t get lighter. Had a really long wait to get my POS windows laptop swapped to get this to actually use it for work. Did I say “work” ? Compared to the experience of using a mac, windows just seems a crappy environment to get any useful work done reliably. I had so many instances of the XP disappointing me at the times of need (slowing down, wireless acting up, freezing, blah blah) that I had to demote its use to only the Firefox browser 90% of the time. Even then I had to close it before putting to standby, else with 95.25% chance it would freeze up next day, wasting a good 30 min of my time.
At work, nothing could be better. I am now all up and energized to learn developing flash, and what is a better environment than OSX where everything works seamlessly. It is made for developers and artists and am loving every bit of it.
Now the mac is here, my dark days are gone. I am playing with it like a kid with a new toy, and not getting bored at all. The mac keeps stunning me with its interface and the fact that everything just plain works seems incredible. On the first day itself I took a bunch of pics using photo booth and made a fun movie using iMovie. What a hoot ! I am now thinking of taking actual movie clips along a storyline and try my hand at documentary making.
Here is the movie I made. Enjoy.
