My Tiger has arrived!

So what's all this excitment about tiger? The new operating system for the Mac! And wow it is beautiful, sleek and handy. Spotlight is a new search engine that finds everything. I type in the word "sony" and it comes up with everthing in my computer called sony. It pulls up an old email to do with sony video cameras, an email to my bro brian telling him which camera I bought, a calendar item that says what day I bought the sony camera on, my folder where all my digital pics are kept, my web browser history bookmarks, and even credits from a movie, and the word sony found in a pdf document! WOW!

And what's cooler, is Dashboard. Its handy, funky, gorgeous and nerd techy all at the same time. You really have to check this out!!

These are Widgets, part of Dashboard! Widgets are small mini applications (software/programs) that run in the background. At the touch of a button, the widgets pop up! From clockwise: top right is the countdown to my wedding!! Next is the time, yes, I am up that late... and yes it is raining, but this makes the rain look pretty cool! Following is, This day in history, Hula girl, Word, Quote and Joke of the day, Bible passage, Mini Address book (contact) info, and Mini Calendar. Than the so cool all in one wikits (digital post-it notes, as many as you want all organized together.) Then you can ask any question and get an immediate online answer. Below is the dictionary and thesauras, to the right is the calculator and than bottom row: language translator, Conversion (any thing to anything- measurements, currency, etc.) and lastly, my audio controller! Wow, that's a crap load of tasks that normally would take many programs and websites do all of that. Now it's all there, at the touch of a button. And as more widgets get developed, I can drop them on my screen. And oh, did I mention that this is a screen shot from only one monitor? :) The other monitor is filled with other widgets!
