DigiMOM's New Computer

Woohoo! We got a brand spankin new computer! and i'm so excited... or ya know, I was when I ordered it. I love it, it's SOOO fast. It has all the ram that computer will ever hold! (I ordered it full:4G's) I've been doing so much on my computer... and my "old" one is just slow. And an "easy" project that should be quick, takes longer than i'd like... and in the background the kids are all getting into something or on each others nerves... so i'm hoping i'll spend a little less time on it (yah right) okay, at least I won't be waiting for it to compute.

My focus has been changing... i'm going to be doing the newsletter for the Skagit County First Class starting in August (been partly responsible for it for a few months). And you all know, I have a fettish for photos... and I recently got Adobe Photoshop Elements which you can do so much with. The main reason I got PSE was to "tag" my 28,000 photos that i've taken since 2003... So between digital scrapbooking, newsletters, my photoshop program (which is a bit bulky) and my other digital creations... we just decided "it's time!"

And now the work begins. One of the main reasons it took so long for me to order it was just thinking about all the work that goes into it once you get it. Loading drivers, programs, getting the details done... like getting all of my little internet links back where they are supposed to be. Rod at this very moment is trying to figure out how to get our tv to be our 2nd monitor (which worked just fine on the old one)... And it all takes time. Time i'd rather be doing something else. But it's an end to a means. I just know i'm gonna love it - soon.
