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.
