How long has it been since I have visited here…? Too long. Way too long. Time is a funny thing. There is never enough in a day is there. Even if our day were 26 hours long we would still not get through everything we desired on that given day. I have found one simple thing to help…..a Macbook. You may laugh but apart from God this small (13”) aluminium beauty has been the key to the biggest life change recently. It feels like my day has gained an extra two hours, and in reality it has. I did some simple maths.
The Dell
15 minutes start up time – no jokes!
45 minutes trying to get an internet connection on dial up.
On average 4 crashes a day – that’s another 15 x 4 minutes to reboot.
Total time per day: 2 hours
The Mac
Instant start up – okay give it 1 second for good measure
Internet connection – as this is not totally dependant on the mac and the charming phone company in Zim is a little temperamental I would say 4 – 10 minutes.
No daily crashes – that’s 0 x 0
Total time per day: Lets say 8 mins and 1 second!
It appears I now have an extra 1 hour, 51 minutes and 59 seconds to play with….I think – maths was never a strong point.
I finally got round to writing my monthly newsletter….ahem…..for February, and had to skip over so much, what with the modern day reader having such a short attention span and needing to put in pictures as another medium to hold attention, my two pages had gone before I had started. Let’s see how blogging works at keeping a closer eye on the story. Comedy abounds every day in this beautiful and quirky land. So here goes…..Blog attempt number two, or maybe three……
