I did it! I bought a Mac!

A week ago I had only heard about how much easier to use a Mac is.  Having used a Mac for the last few days, I am firmly convinced that all of the glowing reports about Macs are all true–except the ones that claim that using a Mac will help you loose weight!

I bought mine at the Apple Store at Memorial City.  They did the transfer of my data off of my PC onto the Mac.  Everything went very smoothly, perhaps because I bought and read several books on Macs in the “For Dummies” series.  I feel like an idiot for not having made the transition years ago.  Better late than never!

The only negative aspect of the purchase was that when my bride and I went to the Apple Store last weekend, we really felt our age, since we didn’t see many people over thirty in the store.  But, I guess that is really a comforting thing, since it shows that this dog hasn’t gotten too old to learn new tricks.

On a completely unrelated topic, Michael Barone published an incredibly insightful piece this week on Scott Rasmussen’s web site..  http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_michael_barone/when_liberal_leaders_confront_a_centrist_nation  In in the piece, he did a fine job of explaining the factors that force Democratic presidents to govern from the center. His analysis puts the Obamacare debacle into a wider context.
