I remember when I first got my MacBook. Not only were the nights prior without sleep but the drive to store to get it was probably among the longest ever. I know I sound like an exaggerating lovesick puppy, but it is honestly true. Finally the moment came, that beautiful white box met my hands and finally I had my laptop. As soon as I got in the car I carefully opened the box and there it was, my MacBook. Its beautiful black exterior accented by the beautiful Apple made it belong in an art gallery.
As I lifted the top the first thing I noticed was the simple but sleek design. It reminded me of all of Apple’s other powerhouse products. My hand pressed the flush power button and then I heard that beautiful sound, the sound that all Mac users recognize and get goosebumps from when hearing. After relaxing my cheeks from the intense grinning I was experiencing I started adding the various programs that I needed for school. The main program I had to put on my Mac was Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. It hurt to have to inject a disc into my brand new computer that had the word “Microsoft” on it. As the lump in my throat swelled I clicked install. To my delight everything went without a hitch. I ignored the software update for Microsoft Office simply because I had no Internet connection while on the highway. This was the start of my many problems that I had just before my freshman year of college. The problems that forced me to separate from my lovely Mac were not at all the fault of Apple but actually from Microsoft. I hope that the experiences that I had to go through will help you and your new Mac avoid experiencing any hardships in the beginning of your relationship.
