15" MacBook Pro

Well it has been almost about 2 months since I bought my 15" MacBook Pro and I have to say that though it's been a process to try learn how things work differently on it than on my Dell PC I'm having such a great time playing on it. I have actually stopped using my PC for now because it has come up with a problem with the Internet Explorer and I just don't have the time to waste to fix it. So now I'm using my MacBook Pro full-time and I'm happy since I have some really nice games which I downloaded thru the Mac store. I can basically do most of the things that I was doing on my PC and there has only been a few things that I had to get use to which is the key board and how to use some of the buttons that aren't on my PC.

It's a very slick 15" MacBook Pro though if I were to get it in a different color than the sliver color it might make it look interesting with that Apple logo that lights up whenever I have my MacBook on. I haven't actually taken my MacBook out with me because I don't have a cover or sleeve or case for it yet and even if I do get one for it I'm not sure I want to take it anywhere with me since it is a really expensive. I'm actually getting us to using Safari since I was able to download my Yahoo! Bookmarks and exported it to Safari with a few problems that I eventually fixed. Now I have everything that I need on my MacBook so I don't even really miss anything on my PC except maybe my Microsoft programs but that I could work around. I'm not going to buy the Microsoft Office for Mac since I've heard such negative reviews along with those positive reviews. Besides that if I really need to use Microsoft Office I can always do what I've been told might work out for me which is using Parallel or Boot Camp to use Windows on my MacBook.



Since buying my MacBook I've been really thinking about getting back to my writing and I have heard from a lot of writers about his Mac app called Scrivener which helps you get your manuscript organized. I also helps you to make your manuscript ready to be sent to a publisher or to just make it in to an ePub that you could download to Amazon or Barnes & Noble or whatever other eBook retailer you may desire. I'm using the free trial that is offered on their website to get familiar with the program before I give in and buy the $45 app from the Mac Store. I actually got a $100 gift card from Apple when I bought this MacBook which was great because those game apps I bought from the Mac Store as well as some of the music albums I used my gift card to pay for them. I still have some money left on it and I'm thinking if I should use it to buy Scrivener but I have to be really sure that I will be able to use it properly.

So it's been several months since I have written on the blog even though I promised the last time that I would really try to get back to writing up reviews again. It's just been a very hectic time with the Sandy Storm just messing up have the city which included my office building down on the South Street Seaport. I have never stopped reading so I have a lot of books that I could post reviews for but taking the time to writing the reviews and posting them here on the blog is something that I don't seem to have to mental energy to do. I hope that with some time inspiration to write a review will hit me and then maybe I will get back to doing my live podcasts with all of the new authors that I have recently been discovering at least new authors to me as well as new authors to the writing industry.

Well it's time for me to get back to procrastinating with other things while I think about writing my romance novels or book reviews.
