Not talking McDonalds here, talking Apple.
I am an old, old Macintosh user. My first computer was an Apple Lisa, the precursor to the Mac. In the 90's I owned two Performas. I was not happy to switch to a PC for business reasons and when I was ready to get a new Mac for home use my daughter gave us her Dell. When the Dell died we got another PC.
I was so attached to the Mac. I remember telling a brain surgeon who was computer illiterate to get a Mac. I told him, "It isn't brain surgery." (God I crack myself up) So when I moved to my own place I left the PC and ordered myself up a nearly new, refurbished ibook G4.
Frankly, I am disappointed. This is not the easy to use Mac I remember. I have a problem downloading anything because it will tell me it doesn't recognize the program and I have to choose another, yet whatever I choose is wrong.
I have downloaded Open Office but can't open it. I can't upload photos to LL. Now the Epson printer is not responding even though the right driver is loaded. And this morning the wireless mouse stopped working. I am so disappointed and saddened to be back at the library.
I don't have a lot of money so I am hoping to get a Mac wizard to help me on a barter system. Since most of them are probably young enough to be my grandchildren (provided I had kids at 18) I will offer home made meals.
Wish me luck.
