Change....I hate it!

For explanation of why these pics are here, read on!

A few weeks ago the kids got a virus on my computer. I was devastated.

I use my computer all. the. time.

When I need my mood picked up I go through photos, I digi-scrap, I mess around with things in Photoshop and last but not least I surf the web and shop!

Paul was trying to fix it and then HP took over and sent the computer back to the way it was right out of the box. I was able to keep all of my files (for that I am grateful) but I lost all of my programs.

That night Paul announced that he bought me a new, beautiful, Mac. It is suppose to be the greatest thing for photo work and designing. In theory that sounded great!

Well to say that the transition has been hard is an understatement. I am now trying to figure out where all my files are, trying to learn PS CS4 (there are some tiny little changes from PS CS that drive me nuts) and trying to decide if I really wanted a Mac. I am leaning toward no. I am a creature of habit and nothing is the same.

I did find a file on one of my externals that had some of my favorite photos in it from our trips and favorite places. Last night I added to it (an excuse for me to learn a bit about iPhoto)

So in an effort to see what I have figured out, I am posting a ton of my favorite photos. Some of these look better in color, but then I wouldn’t have had as much to play with, would I?

See now I have already run into problems. I can't move the order of my photos. Growl, hiss, spat!!! I also seem to have lost my cursor. Wait, now it is back. I also thought everything was going to be underlined but I got that worked out miraculously. I don't know how I did it though.

It might be a while before I post pics from our most recent Disneyland trip.......
