Apple Magic Mouse
I forgot to mention the Apple Magic Mouse – a truly innovative design. But I wonder will people like the swiping and sensors or will a more traditional choice prevail? I am not a big fan of the multi touch trackpad and often have a usb-mouse connected to my mac laptop. I have never gotten used to the swipes and taps that so many love – I feel like I have more control with the old fashioned type or even the Mighty Mouse.
However – the uncluttered look of the whole new iMac package is very classy. What I would give to do away with all of the cords and cables that snake their way in and around my workspace!
I will have to make my way to an Apple Store to try out the new Magic Mouse before I take the plunge. What are your thoughts?
Welcome to Technology Novice
Call this my Hello post. I have set this site up as an outlet to my computing energy. You see, women use computers differently than men – you will see that theme recurring here.
I am a big Apple fan. My computer is the central operations of my life. My mind. I could manage without it – but why do I want to?
Yet my friends don’t get it. Sure there is a geekiness to it all. But who has time for that side of it?
Women are busy. The computer just needs to work. We want to spend precious time working on the computer – not getting the computer to work. We want instant integration. We want useful software. We want things to run smoothly, our productivity to increase, and to be organized.
To that end, Apple has won me over. There is so much potential – but despite it’s ease of use, weeding through it all is time consuming. But still I do. I want answers, I want ease of use. As I come up with answers, I need to make the process easier for someone else. I need to share my knowledge. Notice I say knowledge not expertise. No it will never be expertise just enough knowledge to make computing work for me.
So, Technology Novice is quite appropriate – don’t you think? I will share what I know about my Mac, Apple Computers, iPod Touch, iPod and how they make life easier. Maybe it will help you, too.
