Huh. I just realized that I hadn’t put in any entries to this blog when I got our previous Macs. Well, there’s one entry, when we got the blue and white G3 used. That seems unlike me. Oh well, time to make amends.
Yesterday when we got home from the Ocean Centre, there was a FedEx doorknocker hanging on our front door. They’d tried delivering, but we weren’t home. A few phone calls later, and I ended up at the Total Delivery Systems depot off Tennyson a little after 4.
The new mac in question is tiny. It’s a Mac Mini, and it’s about the size of five CD cases stacked.
When the kids were in bed, I started setting it up. I left the Migration Assistant working to transfer my files and settings from the iMac and went to bed. Now, all is ready. Since it’s so small, and it’s plugged into my existing 24″ monitor, my desk is much more open. The iMac is now upstairs for school use and that has decluttered things up there, too. There’s still a lot of life left in that computer, even if the Mini is much faster. Tammy gets her 2003 iBook back, just in time for NaNoWriMo with her favourite writing program, Scrivener.
