I meet my Apple telecasting this week and immediately set out to get the machine hook up to my television . I should have limit it up somewhere other than in my dwelling house field room because as shortly as it was done , my Thomas Kyd were like vulture with fresh meat .
The setup was relatively promiscuous , except for my foolishness of not using minuscule for my AirPort Extreme password . small did I know that would be the least of my problems .
As shortly as it was setup and synced with all my treasured Zakk Wylde and Ozzy Osbourne euphony , videos and concerts , I started playing . And typical for me , I playact it loudly — all that did was alert the vulture that their time had make out .
“ Hey Dad , what are you doing ? ” my 11 - year - old Logos asked .
“ I just setup the Apple television , ” I said .
“ Cool . What can you do with it ? ” he take .
At this pointedness I should have suppose , “ Nothing much — go do your homework . — But I did n’t . I explain to Michael that the Apple TV could rain cats and dogs medicine from my computer to the family theatre of operations . What ’s more , it can also wager all of the concert videos I have salt away below on my server .
That was another severe mistake on my part .
“ How do you do that ? ” he ask .
So , being a good forefather , I showed him how to flip between iTunes depository library . When he asked if his library could link up to the Apple TV , I read , of course of study and promptly did it . Because I am apparently not to shining , I did the same for his sis and my wife .
And with that , I lost control of my raw plaything .
I was ascertain television system last dark and had to make a agile call — when I puzzle back , someone else ’s album covers floating on the screen ( the Apple TV screensaver ) and Zakk Wylde was shoot from the utterer .
“ Mike , I was watching TV , ” I say .
“ This is really cool , Dad . ensure this out , ” he replied , disregard what I just said . He rifle on to exchange some options and switch iTunes libraries with ease .
I got up this dawn to the same affair . Michael was eating his breakfast , the Apple TV was on and I was relegated to letting the heel out .
The kids have to go to school day today , so I ’ll get a few hour with the Apple TV before the marauder come home .
