A friend of mine has recommended a computer person his business uses to work on their computer, and he's not far from here. He comes highly recommended, so i'll give him a call Monday, and see what he things is the best way to go with this.
Other than PS, i have Lumipix and Breeeze Browser Pro on the C drive. These are the most used programs. I have the downloaded set up files backed up, just may have to contact the owners for any S/N's i cannot dig up as a just in case. Its an older computer, 2002, and it as i understand, some of the newer, bigger dirves might not function with an older MB. I;'ll see ehat he has to say, i just hope it works until my Xmas orders are complete, they are starting toi come in now.
