Ho

Crap.

That's awesome. Thanks!

omg! That's friggin' awesome! Yeah, I knew you could get a definition of any of the words you wanted but, not like that! I was just right clicking and then choosing a defition and a bigger box would appear. But, THAT'S tight!!!!

Ahhh, I'm in love.

Again.

Shhhh don't tell my wife!!!

Too bad she still doesn't really like Macs. She'll come around, though! hahaha

[MadBryan]

she loves it

[MadBryan]

She teared up alittle.(so did I) she was totally suprised

[Peench]

Dude, that is sooooo awesome!!! Glad she liked the present and that it created an awesome memory for you and your daughter! Very cool!

[Jon Liu]

Mad, she will TOTALLY love it!!! Very VERY cool!

[MadBryan]

Jon, can you or Wonder recommend a site where she/I can learn how to use the operating system. I know when I was having trouble with my ipod, WonderMonkey turn me on to "ipod lounge" something similar for OS 10 (i think thats it) would help.

[Jon Liu]

mmm, you'll probably have to have Wonder help you out more with that. Since I am still relatively new to the Mac scene, he and others might have better insight on where to go.

Although, I did find this cool link:

http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/

Not necessarily a place where you can get answers to questions but, a lot of very cool tips!!

[MadBryan]

Thanks Jon, that'll work. We're having trouble with the mouse and don't know enough about OS X to change the settings.

[Jon Liu]

to change mouse settings you go into the System preference icon (which should be in your dock by default) and go to keyboard and mouse settings. From there, their are individual tabs that you can go through to change the various settings.

I ended up finding that last nite Jon and it helped but its still alittle unresponsive. Its the only mouse in our house (hey I'm a rapper) without a ball and it will not track at all directly on the desk. My daughter stuck a magaazine under it and it helped but still not right. I'm stumped

[Jon Liu]

it didn't come with a mouse?! I thought it came with the wired mouse. Anyway, that's odd that it's unresponsive... I'm stumped too

[MadBryan]

Haha, sorry my post was jumbled. Trying to watch that Ricky Bobby movie and surf my laptop. Anyways it came with the wired Mighty Mouse but it doesn't have a ball like the other three in our house. As you know (copied from Apple site) "Optical Tracking
Powered by a precision optical sensor, Mighty Mouse provides responsive and accurate cursor movement on almost any type of surface — no mouse pad required." Its new tech for us and it is performing poorly. Laying directly on the desk it doesn't work. Thinking about getting wireless key board and mouse for it anyways cause the cables are to short. Buy extenders or go Bluetooth. Still deciding
