PROJECTS: Mac-wise

January 21st, 2008 by Susan


There are so many new programs to learn in Mac that offer similar functioning to what Ive been used to in Windows that I’m playing with them just to become acquainted. 

While I’ve never been one to play movies on the computer or run the TV through (why?  a 13-inch screen?) it’s been interesting just to see what’s available here.  Why it took me a year before I realized that Windows Moviemaker came with the package and was on the laptop waiting for me.  But I’m really hot to get the Adobe CS on it so I can at least play in Photoshop a bit.

The Storyspace project is moving slowly as I’m relearning how to do things and finding what I need to make things work.  I’ve been writing in the Windows version for now just as the mood hits but not going off in too many trails so it doesn’t get hairy to transfer.  A story is developing here but it’s getting more complicated as I take different trails to answer questions raised by the reading.

All in all, aside from a dandruff problem, the Mac has been an interesting experience so far.  (For example, putting the link from text to site didn’t work on this last sentence.  Now that’s a bummer in a hypertext-minded world.)
