Pajjar's New MacBook

I finally got Pajjar and my wireless printer set up. Seriously! It's so cool to be able to print stuff from our laptops without having to bring our laptops near our printer and connecting that USB cable into it. We can literally print stuff from anywhere, as long as we have connection to our router. We can even print stuff from inside our cars in our parking lot! Nice!

Pajjar also finally got her first brand-new computer. In college, she got a hand-me-down laptop computer from her dad. It was old and slow and the screen didn't work, so she had to hook it up to an old CRT screen (those old tv sized computer screens). That computer didn't even have internet! Her parents have helped her other siblings get computers for themselves but never for her. That's why I decided that she needs a new computer of her own because she's never had one! Last Sunday we got her a new MacBook. It was funny, she felt guilty because she felt like she was betraying Bill Gates by buying a Mac.

Here are some other Apple related projects that I want to do, in no particular order.

1. Install Windows XP on to both of our Macs, just to be cool! And so that I can play video games on her computer.

2. Get an Apple Time Capsule so that we can wireless backup both our Macs with Time Machine. Plus we can return that router back to Qwest so that we don't have to pay that dang $8 rental fee every month!

3. Buy a MacMini and set it up in our closet as a music and photo server. It'll be like our own personal juke box/media server. As long as our computers have internet access we can access our music and photos. Plus it'll free up a lot of space up on our laptops, prolonging the life of our harddrives. If we don't have internet access, it's okay because we'll still have our iPods to listen to music with.

4. Buy an AppleTV interface and rip all of our movies and TV shows on it. Plus! It will be able to access our media server so that we can look at our pictures on our tv, as well as listen to music, if desired.
