Oh gall, shipping says the Mac will arrive tomorrow!

Any last minute tips for when I open and start it up?

If I remember correctly our wireless network is hidden, will this be challenging for the Mac, or should I say for the Mac user? Lol!

Also, I have found plenty of podcasts on using VO, but will I need to find some materials on using the Mac itself? Macs own programs?

Yes, the interacting thing will take some getting use to. I've listened to some podcasts, but I'm still not clear on when to interact and when not. Hopefully practice will iron that out. :)

BTW, Mike you've done great work with tech podcasts. I've listened to many of your Mac ones and a few of your Android ones. *smile*

Thanks all,
Traci

Welcome to the world of the mac, I'm sure you will love it. Since you use the ipad, you're already half way there in learning voiceover, if you use the track pad commander, the gestures are mostly the same for navigating, so you should feel right at home there. Of course there are some new concepts such as interacting with items, but that's pretty simple. I'm sure you will enjoy the new computer.

Hello all,

My name is Traci, I own an iPad, and this week I'll be receiving my first Mac. I chose the MacBook Air, 11.6, 1.8 processor.

I'm so flippin' excited and a bit nervous making this move. I've done a lot of reading and listening over the last Months, however I'm still very open to all advice. Baby steps to your first Mac, *grin.*

Having the iPad for the last year, I imagine I'll be using the trackpad a lot with the Air. It'll definitely feel more familiar to me.

Anyway, thought I'd introduce myself; I'm looking forward to learning much from this list.

TC,
Traci
