New Computer

Last week, my beloved 3 1/2 year old mac finally said, “No”. It had been getting slower and slower to process RAW files, do album layouts, upload online galleries, upload images to my server, FTP files to my lab, etc, etc…… The RAM and hard drive space were just totally maxed out. When it said “No” last Friday, it really meant it! It deleted about 25 hours of design work! Aaahhh!! Oh yeah, all of the original files remained in tack on my external hard drive. But my album layout needed to be designed all over again! I almost cried. But by God’s grace I was able to buy a new computer instead! It’s great! I can hardly believe it’s mine. Now I’ve spent the last few days uploading photoshop and photojunction (my absolutely most important pieces of software); calibrating my monitor; researching FTP programs (have been using fetch but will try a better one); configuring my various email accounts; setting up firefox, my preferred browser, and on and on. I’d forgotten how much work I’d already put into making my previous computer truly “mine” with everything just right for me. So today I have to re-load all my favorite photoshop actions and order new test prints!
Yea!!
