Been having trouble getting blog posts from LiveJournal to cross-post links to Facebook so I may reopen Blogger. That way I can choose what to share on both Facebook and Twitter.

My new MacBook Air arrived yesterday and we began to copy my iMac to it when Tom said, “This isn’t good.”

Turns out I had my virus protection off on my big Mac since July and didn’t know it! I asked if he thought I had viruses I didn’t know about and he said, “Not likely. It’s still a Mac.”

So we ran a virus scan and sure enough… all was fine! Never have I been gladder to have gone Mac as I did in 2008! I fought it tooth and nail at first because, like most people, I don’t like change. It took some getting used to, but I’m glad I made the change after getting fed up with getting infected in Windows. As they say, once you go Mac you never go back. A part of me will always miss XP, though. That was my favorite of the Windows OPs. Vista sucked shit. There’s also a text-reading program I liked that was exclusively Windows.

Anyway, we migrated from my big iMac to the Air, but we’re not sure yet how to sync docs. This is because the only thing from Microsoft I still use is their word processor. Never could get used to the Mac’s word processor.

It’s going to take some time getting used to the Air’s keyboard, mostly because my nails are so long. Might have to keep them short. Well, as short as they’ll go which isn’t very short given the shape of my fingertips and long nail beds. If I can’t get used to its trackpad I may hook a mouse to it. I could even hook my big Mac’s keyboard to it, but that would be a pain in the ass. The idea is to be able to take the Air anywhere I want to at any time and not have to carry and connect a bunch of shit to it.

I would write more, such as the unpleasant dreams I had last night, but in less than two hours I need to leave for my doctor’s appointment so I will get to it later.
