My Zen Arcade

Before I start, I should make this very clear: I loveliveeatbreath my mac.  The thing just plain old works and works well.  Photoshop starts up in the blink of an eye.

There are, though, still some things I need to figure out.  Little things, like how to switch between multiple windows of Firefox, for example, or how to highlight a complete line of text (which I think is command-shift-arrow).  Just stuff I have to look up.

Its been a long time since I had to learn a new OS, and I have found that the less I try to actively learn, the more I do.  For example, I downloaded a photoshop video that was a split binary file.  I now know how to join those.  Further, the method for installing software on the Mac is somewhat different than on PC and each time I learn a new thing, and get a utility for it, I learn more and more about installing.

The question is, am I learning so quickly by doing, or is OSX just plain old easy.

The one thing I’m dreading is installing Windows through bootcamp.  I know it is just supposed to work.  I know this is all going to be fine.  But I so love the thing that I fear screwing it up.  I dunno, maybe I’ll pass and just invest in a desk for my laptop.

ugh.
