Am I a hipster now?

So, I have started using the ios operating system. My kids still think I am a giant dork.

We are lucky enough at my workplace to have the choice between Windows and Mac when we sign in every morning. I was always a Windows user (kind of by default), until I tried to start making videos and capture footage of my desktop to create info lit tutorials.

The windows software package we have doesn't allow me to edit video or capture desktop video. I tried. I found the software that I needed was available for free on the web, but, of course, I cant download any software or updates for software without "administrator permission". That is not me.

The ios software package available to me, however, does contain video editing and QuickTime capture technology, which does exactly what I need.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been trying desperately to get used to doing without my keyboard shortcuts, and I think I am winning!

Occasionally I find my use of Mac is kind of clunky, but only because I am so "Windows socialised". I am hoping to become a fluent Mac speaker within the near future, but am dismayed that I have not yet become any more trendy or "down with the kidz".  :(
