I meant to finish this post in April. Oops. You get it now though, so be happy?
This past weekend, Husband and I attended our third and final event celebrating our wedding. We drove to and from California in three days. It's about 10 hours one way. Husband has been distracted this semester to say the least. That meant that this trip was around 15 hours of dedicated study time (I asked him to drive in California... I'm not used to that craziness). We brought both laptops: one PC and one Mac.
I've noticed some differences in those to operating systems (no surprise there).
Husband began the studying using his trusty PC. As soon as it turned on and realized it was not plugged into a power source, it felt as if we had asked the computer to climb Everest. Without oxygen. When it started to slip away, Husband would turn down the brightness to almost black, turn off any extraneous programs and somehow this bought him slightly more time. The computer trudged through like a trooper for about 3 hours. Then promptly died. "It's like a house cat," Husband exclaimed "Plays with you for a while, gets bored and falls asleep."
He next pulled out my MacBook Air (to say this properly, you must whisper "air"). It had been fully charged before we left. It turned on (happily I might add), and worked until we switched drivers 5 or so hours later. We then decided my MacBook Air is a puppy. Happy to see you, willing to play long hours, and wears you down before you wear it down.
I'm very proud of Husband. He finished an online business class in about three days and got a B. Not bad for someone utterly distracted by wedding madness.
