I have a new computer! I am so happy! I am singing the new computer song!
Plus, it's a Mac! Yay! I am returning to my cpu roots... I knew it was time to get a new Mac when my daughter said to me, well, Mom, you're really kind of a Dell person.
I almost shrieked. Little does she know the debates I used to get into with DOS users who thought Macs were toys.
But now I have a Mac! Really, I am very, very happy about this. The only thing that would make me happier would be if I had remembered to tell the Mac people that I'm a teacher, so I could have gotten the educators' discount. No problem, though. I'll just head back to the store (very nicely air conditioned, I might add) tomorrow, and they'll give me that money back.
Like I said, yay!

welcome back to the mac world. it is a happier world with sunshine, rainbows and unicorns. well, maybe just sunshine.
are you feeling free and easy too?? with no papers to grade??
i just saw that you found my "rock novel" page. except, i'm not going to put the entire novel on the internet - i just put the first chapter on, so when i contact agents, i can suggest they read it there.
hasn't worked at all, however!
I think the internet will be the place for people to see your work, though. It's a matter of time and a learning more learning to figure out how to use this all more effectively.
And you're right: Macs are amazing. I had somehow forgotten, was lulled into believing that Windows PCs were good enough, were intelligent and creative enough. But I've been messing around with iPhoto, and it is so utterly incredible and fun.
I really, really want to get my students using the internet to post their writing and to communicate with each other (in a positive way!) this year. It behooves me to learn as much as I can about how to do that.
I'm going to try getting a wiki going. But there are rules regarding age limits, so I have to check that out first.
