Uh huh, that's mine....

Oh my gosh I am so excited that I cannot even stand it! I am the proud new owner of an imac computer WOO HOO!!! It has this awesome 24 inch screen and the graphics display is out of this world!!! Let me back track....the other morning I went to turn on my computer like I always do and sit and check e-mails, blogs, and read the news, all while drinking my steaming hot cup of coffee. It is my morning routine, the day is not right without it. As I am sitting there reading a friend's blog, the monitor shuts of. Hmm....ok.....WTF?! So I move the mouse around thinking it is in power save mode or something and I get nothing. So I turn it off, and turn it back on. I am delighted to see that the monitor turned on and starts up like normal. So I begin where I left off, on Lex's blog. Again, it shuts off. I seriously almost put my hand through the screen, no joke. At this point I know there is no hope and I almost wanted to cry (most of you know my whole computer crashing drama so this is yet another thing to set me back). Then I started making phone calls and I am sorry but I am gonna say it, hate me if you want: everyone I spoke to was obviously from a different country so there was the whole language barrier thing and he didn't understand me, I didn't understand him, and so on. So this particular phone call lasted for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Bella was late for school and in the end I got nowhere. Then I called HP. They wanted to charge me $50 for a diagnostic test that may or not even work in the end so I told them to forget it. That is when I started shopping around. I knew I needed a new computer. Every time I tried to save an edited photo it would take an extra 2 minutes, sometimes more depending on what I did to the photo. And then there is whole fear of the stupid thing ever crashing again. I did my research and ended up with this sweet piece of machinery. The only hang up now is that my current photoshop is for a PC not a mac so I am waiting for my mac version to get here. Since I made the switch I had to send of this LOD (letter of destruction) stating that I will NOT be using my PC version of photoshop any longer, which means I cannot edit photos till I get the new one. So if you are waiting for photos plan on waiting at least a week longer, I know it sucks for both of us, but I seriously thank you for being patient. In a way I am kind of glad that this happened. I so needed a new computer for business purposes and this was the shove that I needed. Whew, k, I am done. I am gonna go and stare at the computer now :)
