Once again, almost a month has gone by since I last blogged. It’s not like nothing happened, just that there has been so little spare time. October started with a our trip to Vegas and a stay at the Wynn hotel. Sandy played the slot machines while I attended meetings. This arrangement worked well as Sandy won enough to pay for our meals plus her air fare. As a point of interest the buffet at the Wynn was $37 per person. The food was great… but $37? Overall it was a fun trip. The hotel accommodations were luxurious, the food was super, and Sandy’s winnings topped the trip off.
The balance of this month has been consumed by my new job. So much to learn and so little time. I do love it though. It’s the challenge of stepping into something I have never done, the learning, and the working with others to do something with real purpose.
Leopard, Apple’s new operating system was delivered Friday just a little after noon. It actually arrived almost 6 hours before it was available in our local Apple stores. I purchase a family pack version, and had in installed on our two laptops, the G5 iMac, and Mac Pro before 6:00 PM. So far it works flawlessly. Time Machine, Apples new backup strategy, is just fantastic. Just plug in an external drive, answer one question and it’s working.
