apples to apples

No, I don't mean the game. (Although it is a great game. The first time I played we went throuh every single card; sat there till well after midnight...by the way, the game gets much funnier the later it gets.) Anyway, I digress. The title is in reference to the Mac notebook Brandon and I just got. We discovered in laptop shopping that those who we talked to who had Macs were die-hard Mac lovers. We figured we must be missing out on something, so we got one ourselves. I don't think I've used one since the first computer my family bought when I was about 7. My favorite thing about that one is that you could record your own sounds and songs and program them to come on at various times. For instance, when you turned the computer on, you would hear my dad's voice saying, "Somebody stole my...chicken!" (Inside joke, don't ask.) And when you tried to perform an illegal operation, Edie Brickell would warn you by singing "What I am is what I am, are you what you are or what?". There were a few other funny ones, something about the Spanish inquistion...I don't remember exactly. I need some of you die-hard Mac users to show me all the cool things we can do on our computer now. We know there are many cool things to do, we just don't know how to do them yet.
