Mom's New Toy & A Chance to Win a Free Book!

At our house I'm the computer geek, so you'll have to excuse my gushing for a moment! I've been researching switching from PC to Mac for months and last week I bought myself an early birthday present, a new iMac! Although it is taking a bit of getting used to, I am already enjoying the stablility, no more messages about having to "end task" in order to shut down a program that's not responding. Almost instant power up and shut down, etc.

Actually my business purchased the computer and I can already see how much more steamlined and productive I can be on a system like this. Kind of makes me wonder why I waited so long...oh, yea...I had to wait until I could afford it :-) This is such a blessing from God and I am enjoying it immensely! My old eyes really like the big, bright monitor! My kids were giving me a hard time all these months I've been researching and dreaming about making the switch - well, now I have the COOLEST computer in the house. The first day I could hardly use it as my youngest (13) dear son was making music with the Garage Band software that came with the system!

If anyone has any favorite Mac OS tips, I'd love to hear them! It didn't take much research to learn that mac users are incredibly loyal to their operating system, and after using it I can understand why!

Oh, on another note, I'll be sending out my next newsletter sometime over the next 3 days. One lucky subscriber will receive the book, Homeschooling at the Speed of Life, by Marilyn Rockett. There's still time to SUBSCRIBE :-)
