We've both been enjoying visitors over the holidays. The latest was a friend from Toowoomba who stayed a couple of nights and as a result we ventured north of Maroochydore for the first time since we've been here. We dropped in to the Hyatt Regency at Coolum to find a gallery closed on that day, then went further into the wilds to Hastings Street in Noosa where Rebecca shopped and we finally lunched at the Sheraton (it was very delicious). Yesterday we all went to Eumundi to the markets. Rebecca shopped again, with gusto. It was nice to see. After she left for home another friend passing by rang and we all went for coffee across the road at the Islander Beach Cafe. Shame I have to go back to work next week (not until Wednesday though).
iMac Reigns Supreme
In Brisbane today Rene finally crossed to the 'other side'. Yes, he's now a Mac bloke. After years of cussing Bill Gates and virus firewalls and the machinations of software/hardware issues with a PC, he's now the proud owner of an iMac. Those already converted (even zealous advocates) will have to understand that this decision was not arrived at lightly, let alone quickly, but finally the power of the Mac swept over him and he was reborn - this time a wiser and much happier soul. Yes, even I, a Luddite, am finally being won over by the speed, style, intuitive operation and sheer beauty of the machine. My Dell PC is great, no worries about it - only 7 months old -terrific, but when you witness the speed, cleverness, compactness, beauty of its operation, an iMac makes the PC look like the fossil it unfortunately is. Oh well, another 2 years and I'll upgrade. I'll be the next one to cross over to the other side.
