A Second Chance

Many years ago, I switched from being a PC guy, to being a Mac guy. Now today, I own 5 different Mac devices. I've owned many others in my day, but tonight is a first for me. I'm doing a re-install of the software. When I used to have my PCs, I'd go through this once a year at least. This is the first time since my first Mac in 2006 I've had to do this. A few months ago, I took an upgrade of the Operating system. It was like moving from Windows XP to Vista. It nearly killed my computer. So, Heather and I have been dealing with this now for a few months, and a couple weeks ago, decided it was time to oust the laptop. I decided that maybe it wasn't time to give it up just yet. So, like my father has done with many vehicles in his day, I am trying to bring it back and give it one more chance. Tonight was the reinstall, and I'm currently trying to get it back to operating process just like was before the re-format. Then we will see if this 5 year old computer can run like the day I got it. And, if you're wondering, this isn't the oldest computer we have here (2008). We have a 2005 or 2006 Dell that Heather was using when we got married that still runs like it's new as well, so I just wanted to throw that in there that it may get called into a more full time roll around here if the Mac doesn't shape up.
