Photobooth fun
My friend Evangeline got a new MacBook Pro. I helped her move her files over from her old work Dell laptop and her personal ThinkPad. It turned out to be a fairly simple process. I just plugged a standard network cable into each of the machines (normally a cross-over cable would be required but the MacBook Pro has an autosensing network card). I shared the folders on the PC that contained the files to transfer to the Mac. Then i switched over to the Mac to turn on Windows File Sharing under the Sharing System Preferences menu. Then, using Finder, i chose Go...Connect To Server to connect to the share on the Windows machine using the machine name. I was glad i really didn't have to monkey around with network settings or anything.
While her iTunes music library slowly moved over, i started playing around with the machine. As Jack has already seen, Photobooth can be fun to play with.
