Computer Love

It's not an exciting post or anything. 

Just one written on my new MacBookAir.

It migrated a day ago, but I never looked at the new desktop until earlier yesterday. Then began the arduous task of re-signing into everything. 

Blogger. Amazon. Gmail. NYT. all of it. 

I get it is a safety feature, but I'm sure I'll be stumbling over things I forgot to do and have to keep making adjustments along the way. 

One thing I did do was start to weed out my contact list. It was far far far too long. 

That list goes back jobs and jobs and jobs ago. Co-workers, friends, family who have passed away were still languishing there. I kind of get it - so one doesn't forget them, but in reality, I'd have to scroll to see them, which I never did. 

So far a good 150 people are gone. Some names I don't even remember. Me!  Some names I did and would say 'why?'. With some info I only had phone numbers or email addresses. Nothing that could help me identify how I might have known them. 

I did leave in some people who died - my parents for starters. I don't know why. I really don't. 


But the computer is fast. I'm getting used to the responsiveness of the keyboard. Home Row seems to be slight slight slight move to the right, so I've been hitting 'caps lock' a lot. 

Given my relctucance to upgrades and change, it'll be a little while before I'm fully on board, but I'll get there. 

Eventually.
