Congratulations on the enablement, Christine. I read ahead so I know
that you're cooking with Lightroom too. I can pretty much guarantee
that you're going to love your new setup.
BTW, be sure and get yourself a largish external disk (a terabyte or
two) and enable Time Machine on it. We don't ever want to hear "OMG my
disk crashed and I'll be off the air for a while" again. :-)

Hi Everyone:
Well, it hasn't been dull here. My 10 year old used sewing machine died, so we
took it in last Sunday. I'm out of touch with the latest models, so I started
looking around and couldn't believe some of the sale prices, and I had the
manager demonstrate the features on a top Singer model. He offered me an
incredible deal--and I mean incredible--so I left promising him I'd think about
it. Well, after getting the estimate for repairs, I decided to buy it, and we
bought the new machine on Thursday. It works like a dream. I made a blouse
today. The machine is such a joy to use!!!
Well, after bringing the sewing machine home on Thursday, I thought I'd check
email. That's when we discovered our 6-7 year old HP crashed. We called HP,
and they said it's just to old to fix.
So, Thursday night, we went to Best Buy just to look around--see what's out there. When
asked, I told the sales guys we were just looking, and I really meant it! We wondered
over the the Mac table, and, of course, we were asked if we needed any help. "No,
we're just looking," I said.
Then this really nice young sales guy comes up: "Need any help?"
"No, just looking," I said, while playing with the 21.5 inch all-in-one iMac.
Then Darrel starts talking to him, then I join in, then the next thing we know we're being offered
a deal we just couldn't walk away from--great, great deal. So, we're a Mac family now. My brother
is a Mac guy--"Finally" and "Congrats" was his response.
We've got it set up. Darrel's first question was, "Where are all the wires?"
I have lots to learn; I'm totally discombobulated-- I'm amazed iPhoto does RAW, and it's
editor reminds me of Lightroom a bit. I have to call Adobe tomorrow about Lightroom--I'm
hoping they'll let me upgrade to Ver. 3 at the upgrade price. There will be lots of data
transfer to learn too. Oh boy, can't wait!
All in all, we're really pleased with our purchases, but I do have
new-gadget-fatigue. The first shot, I think I actually took last week, but the
other three I did take this week--so it's a legit paw-post. Nothing really
great--I have been a bit preoccupied as they say. Cheers, Christine
