A Long day yesterday.

Builtin hero

It was a very long day yesterday. 

But I got to do something that I really enjoy doing.

I had the pleasure of making a brand new iMac dance!

I rarely get to unbox a brand new machine and set it up. Yesterday was a real treat for me. Brand new machine, brand new Time Capsule, brand new everything. 

And I got to transfer all the data from the old Windows machine to the shiny new Mac. At one point I had three memory sticks plugged into the back of the iMac and I was copying files from all the sticks to various directories on the Mac without really thinking about it.

The Mac never broke a sweat. But the client was surprised that I’d do such a thing and not worry about losing data. Then I dragged all the photos from the old windows photo directory into iPhoto. A little screen opened up showing the photos as they were being imported and the client was blown away.

Images flashing by, files being copied everywhere, configuring printers, and the Time Capsule, & never a hiccup.

It’s one of the reasons I’m a big fan of Mac. It took 2 hours to get the files off the Windows machine.

I wasn’t picking & choosing, I was grabbing the data from the users directory to the memory sticks in chunks. I got choosy when I was putting that data on the Mac.

The Mac sucked in all the data from the memory sticks in a little under an hour.

Very cool and a lot of fun.

I’m wiped out today though. Between sinus issues, the energy expenditure in concentration, and a very long day… All I want to do is sleep. I’ve got other things to do, I can’t sleep right now. 

Maybe a short nap later this afternoon πŸ˜‰
