Grant brought home an iMac from work and we basically spent a couple of hours suspiciously circling it, periodically poking it with sticks. Seeing my professional IT husband try to figure out the most basic things (right click doesn't work?!) is kind of hilarious.

Me: Oh my gosh that monitor is so bright in here with the lights off -
Grant: That thing is like the sun.
Me: I can't deal with another sun in my life, especially at night. How do we turn it off?
Grant: I don't know.
Me: There must be a button?
Grant: Google image search "black" and just leave it on that all night.


That would be the most ridiculous part of my day, except that I spent my literature class in the computer courtyard writing a cited, MLA format paper analyzing the cinematography in The Big Lebowski.

Apple factory issued mice are awful. I've hated them for 7 years and will continue to do so :)

You can right click, I just don't remember which key on the keyboard to press while clicking.

God bless Steve Jobs.

When Macintosh came out with the point and click, they had three buttons. Testers were nervous to use is because they thought they might press the wrong button. Mac simplified things down to one button. Hold mouse down for right click.

To sleep, log out, or shut down, click Apple icon on top bar, menu will open down. Click on Sleep if you just want to walk away from the machine for a few hours.

Keep a lamp behind the monitors to shine against the wall for nighttime usage... that goes for the television as well.

I just got a brand new iMac yesterday. Even I was a little perplexed as to where the power button was. hahahaha
