SO where is the
Macintosh laptop please?
Everything that an
iMac is, except portable – so a smaller screen, a connected-by-wire (in
addition to the wireless connection, for security reasons, connected-by-wire is
better, - it can’t be evesdropped on as easily) keyboard and a
connected-by-wire (in addition to the wireless connection) mouse.
Oh, but all these
things will be hanging in space, dangling like fruit on a tree…
Okay, then have a
base, mount the keyboard on it, have an inbuilt mouse, and in built
hard-disk. There – now everything is
secured.
Oh, but the screen
will be top-heavy since the electronics is in the screen. It might topple over.
Hmmm… Okay, then
put the electronics in the base, and just have a monitor screen sitting
upright.
Ya, you might as
well connect the screen to the base, so it is one unit. Like an L-shape… Oh, but how can I carry an L-shape around,
dear Liza, dear Liza,
But how to carry
an L-shape, dear Liza, but how?
Oh, then fold it,
dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
Then fold it, dear
Henry, dear Henry, fold it.
But how shall I
fold it, dear Liza, dear Liza
But how shall I
fold it, dear Liza, but how?
Like a door or a
window, dear Henry, dear Henry
Like a door or a
window, dear Henry, like that.
But what do you meeean,
dear Liza, dear Liza
But what do you
mean, dear Liza, but what?
Oh, put hinges,
dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
Oh, put hinger,
dear Henry, dear Henry, hinges?
Oh, I see that,
dear Liza, dear Liza, dear Liza
Oh, I see that,
dear Liza, dear Liza, I see.
Oh, good, dear
Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
Oh, good, dear
Henry, dear Henry, Oh Good!
..
So now we have a
foldable iMac sitting on the desk (in my head), and I’ve told you the
specifications too… All you have to do, is do….!
But how shall I
carry it, dear Liza, dear Liza,
But how shall I
carry it, dear Liza, but how?
With a handle,
dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
With a handle,
dear Henry, dear Henry, handle.
Good idea, dear
Liza, dear Liza, dear Liza
A good idea, dear
Liza, dear Liza, oh good.
Anything more,
dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
Anything more..?
dear Henry, dear Henry, anything…?
..
Well, we have the
foldable with a handle sitting on the desk (in my head). And I pick it up and start walking… And it
starts raining…
Oh, it’s raining,
dear Liza, dear Liza, dear Liza
Oh, it’s raining,
dear Liza, dear Liza, raining.
Oh, let’s play,
dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
Oh, let’s play,
dear Henry, dear Henry, let’s play.
Okay, dear Liza,
dear Liza, dear Liza
Oh okay, dear Liza,
dear Liza, okay.
What shall I do
with the foldable, dear Liza, dear Liza,
What shall I do
with the foldable, dear Liza, but what?
Cover it with
plastic, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
Cover it with
plastic, dear Henry, dear Henry, plastic.
But I have not any
plastic, dear Liza, dear Liza, dear Liza
But I have not any
plastic, dear Liza, plastic.
..
Okay, so I’m out
on the road, and it rains and my foldable is getting all wet. Can’t have that happening to
electronics. So I look for plastic to keep
the rain off, but there’s none around.
Oh, I should have carried some with me… Well, that is bulky, and
inconvenient. Okay, we’ll make it into a
case and slip it on the foldable. That
way, I don’t have to carry it separately.
Oops. I dropped it. Someone must have startled me. It’s broken!!!! Oh no, it’s broken.
So I have to put
it in a thermacol case so that even if I drop it, it stays in one piece.
Oh, my! It looks like a suitcase.
But to carry it on
long runs, I’ll need to strap it on my back.
SO a back strap also please, in addition to a suitcase handle, and a
shoulder strap.
Oh my! It looks like an office bag.
Yes, you can take
it to the office also.
Oh my! Why not just pack the whole iMac as is, and
carry it along.
Good idea. Dear Apple, I need a carry-suitcase for a
full-size iMac.
And also a
mouse-pad please, so that the mouse is comfortable, and can glide easily on the
mouse-pad instead of clunking on the table top.
Or at least another smoother moving 2-black-strips on the base, so that
there is a lubricated feel to the mouse, not having to pick and drop, to
achieve movement of the mouse. Yes, that
would be better than the mouse pad. That
way, the current beautiful packaging can stay the way it is (the package in
which the iMac is delivered to the doorstep, or room, actually). Just the mouse base gets an upgrade. Maybe felt will do. Or just any cloth. Probably denim, so it stays on for a longer
time. If it is felt or velvet, it might
wear out. So a rugged cloth, like denim.
Okay, so now we
have different sized iMacs, and carry suitcases for each of them. Oh yay!
I am set to go.
Oh my, I should
have kept the original packaging…. That would have done…
Yes, I should
have. The thermacol in it is perfectly
crafted to cradle the iMac. But the
cardboard box is not durable. Okay. Dear Apple, everything as is, and please ship
the iMac in a suitcase type container, instead of cardboard. You can put the labeling on the
suitcase-type-container (stc), so it looks just the same. Yes, the cardboard case in suitcase-material
please.
That’s all for
now…
Oh dear… somebody
wants to stop us just as we are getting warmed up….
Anything else..?
Yes please. I have had problems trying to get a fast
upload speed on the iMac. It has a
wireless modem in-built, apparently, but I need an Apple account to log into to
activate that wireless connection.
Currently available technology is 3G, which is okay for regular video
(I’m on YouTube too – L. E. A. Anndrea), but the iMac is on high-resolution
recording, with lovely sound,… so it should have at least 4G… Okay, Airtel is
rolling that out…
Seems to me,
having a wireless inbuilt-modem and the Apple culture of providing everything
for the iMac, there should be an Apple provider of high-speed bandwidth. So that I don’t even need to plug-and-play, …
I can just click-and-connect to the Apple internet and then I am ready to play
and upload and work and game.
Oh yay! Satellite connections, coming my way…
I think they
already have that. That iMac locator
locates the iMac anywhere in the world.
So obviously the algorithms, and the capability is there… Just need more
bandwidth on it…. Ooh…replicate…!
Anything else…?
Yes, I noticed
with glee the fact that the Word 1997 “File-Edit-View…” on the top of the iMac
screen, and was so relieved to find that.
However, the keyboard keys for each of those options is somewhat
different. Dear Apple and Microsoft,
could you please have the same keyboard keys as for the original Word 1997 –
you know, the (Alt-F-S) for “Save”, the (Alt-E-C) for copy etc…. also those (Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, which
apparently are in effect, though they are called (Command-C and Command-V). Okay, I can live with that… But I still need
the original Word 1997 File-Edit-View… Okay, that might not be the original,
but that’s what I learnt on… once-upon-a-time…
For me, please, please…?
I was really
pleased to find that the “File-Edit-View” actually did still exist, and would
have the measure of that pleasure, if it still looked the same as in Word
1997. Also, just bring back all the
options, especially that Tools-Customise options, to customize the ribbon – For
nice features like the “Format-painter” to be on the ribbon, easily accessible,
… and other features required … After all, there are so many features, and we
need the option of picking and dropping those features on the tool-bar so that
we can customize the toolbar for our optimal performance and ease.
