The Talk2 List A Mac Message

[Samuel Proulx]

This is an email message written on my new macbook, mostly to see if I  
can.  Thus far, I'm loving the machine, even if I did have some minor  
issues getting things started.  I spent several hours trying to  
install an application yesterday afternoon.  I was trying to run it to  
get an installation thingy to come up, and it just wasn't happening  
for me.  All I had to do was go copy it into my applications folder.   
At least I finally did figure it out.  The main irritation is itunes.   
Itunes, even on the mac, still sucks monkey balls.  Once the library  
gets over sixty thousand items or so, it's slow as a retarded monkey,  
and crashes if you move too fast.  It also has extreme issues coping  
with network shares inside the itunes library.  I need to find a new  
media player, it looks like!  The only other irritation is mail: it  
reads from and status before the message subject.  I need to figure  
out how to reorder the columns.  Once I do that, it'll be good.   
Otherwise, I set the entire thing up without any help at all from  
anyone.  The tutorial gave me enough information to get started with  
voiceover without overwhelming me, and completing the mac setup  
assistant was good practice.  Access to safari works, it's  
just...different from the standard jaws web access we're all used to.   
I'm sure I'd be able to do whatever I needed to with safari, it'll  
just take some getting used to.  I haven't played with ichat yet, but  
that's next on my big bad list of things to do.  That, and track down  
where they put my terminal!  I want it now.   Anyway, I've been doing  
this for like 10 hours or so, up all night...my brain is mush.  I  
think it's time to go do something else, now, perhaps.  How do I send  
this?  I need to go find the hot-key.  Wow.  Spell checker.  It works.
