-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Samuel Proulx Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 7:41 AM To: talk2 Subject: The Talk2 List A Mac Message 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.
