AfterTaste (by Sherry)

I recently decided that my blogging life and future job search was being hindered by my lack of a computer of my own.

I have no one to blame for that but me, I suppose…and Moo Shu. Moo, that mischievous pup, chewed up my AC adaptor around August of 2006 and instead of going out and buying a new one for $50, I just figured I could go without my own computer. Plus, I was too lazy to do all that stuff to it that’s necessary for it to have Wi-Fi.

Moo as a puppy, who knew he’d be such a trouble making panda bear?

Since then I’ve relied on my office computer and my sister’s laptop for all my Internet needs. Up until recently this served me just fine, but now I’m rolling up the shirt sleeves and ready to get down to business. Why not just get a new adaptor, you ask? Well, considering I bought my old laptop in the fall of 2002, I thought I was due for a new one anyhow.

Anyway, to make a long story short, last Tuesday I dove head first into researching laptops and by Friday, boom! I was suddenly a Mac convert. I bought my MacBook Friday evening at approximately 7:35pm. As a life long PC owner, it was a bit tough getting over the mental hurdle of buying a Mac. It was as if, after a lifetime of growing up and living on the Upper East Side, I was suddenly forced to move to the Upper West Side, thinking, I mean the Upper West Side is really nice, great to visit, but live there…that’s just not me? Not that I’m much Upper East Side material either.

Expect my posts to become, if not more frequent, then at least more interesting with better looking photos (I hope iPhoto can perform miracles on the rinky-dink pics from my point-and-shoot camera). We’ll soon see what this machine can really do.

 So far, I’m likin’ it on the Upper West Side…
