I love my Mac. I love my Mac. I don't truly know how I would survive without it. It's wonderful. However, it also recently started running more slowly. That is not cool. I freaked out a little because I couldn't get it back to it's original pace. I tried putting things on an external hard drive hoping that if I opened up some space on my actual hard drive it would speed up.
It didn't.
Then I turned to my boyfriend. Some girls are tech-y. I am admittedly not. I actually freak out when boxes and warnings show up on my screen, even if they're nothing. I also freak out if I get taken to a new screen I've never been to before or didn't expect to be taken to, so the idea of trying to fix the problem on my own was completely out of the question. Hence, I leaned on someone more knowledgeable.
He asked questions about when I had last updated and when we determined I still had an older operating system, he suggested updating the operating system. Do you know what that is? I did not. That was the wrong answer. Because he rolled his eyes at my answer, we had to go into "computer class" and he sat me down to learn about computers and systems and everything. I learned about Hertz and Gigahertz, memory and RAM, screen size and flash memory versus a dual core. It was crazy and overwhelming. Some people's minds just don't work that way, and although we already had a class to introduce me to computers, I'm certain there will be many more to come in the future.
And, as an aside....dear Steve Jobs...please don't be gone long!
