Show's Not Over!


Exit, Stage Left, originally uploaded by sMacshot.


We're just having technical difficulties. If it seems I've been absent lately it's because I have been; at least from the online world.

I returned from a month-long vacation to find that my beloved computer doesn't want to stay on more than 20 seconds. I nearly built this monster myself 6 years ago and it served me so well; never so much as showing me a hiccup or a wince (despite its age) in the face of heavy-duty tasking in Photoshop or 3D Animation/Modeling.
But the day has come and I am currently awaiting the arrival of my new computer, a Mac Pro. It's my first Apple machine but I still love Windows and plan on getting a laptop down the road.

Meanwhile, I've resorted to long distance phone calls with my sister - she is the one typing this now, as I dictate (since she's also the only person I trust with all my website logins). So hoping everyone will not abandon me - I haven't been ignoring you.

Happy Labor Day weekend to my US readers! :)

So sorry to hear about your computer - that happened to me earlier this summer and it was a bummer. But I'm so happy with my new machine that now I think it was a blessing. I hope you love your new machine, too!

Hi all! OK, I am on the new computer. It is going to take me a while to get it all set up and most of all load the old computer files on this one. I am not anti-PC. Mine was a dream machine and I intend to get a PC laptop down the road. I'll be cross-platform. I am really loving the new machine, yes, Victoria and Sandy.
And thanks so much, too, Rachel!

Oh gosh, Catherine, it's so stressful... lots more than I thought involved in getting a Virtual Machine going on my Mac so I can run the Windows programs... which are necessary. I can't wait til it's all behind me!!

WooHoo - if you have any questions about your new Mac, lemme know - I have been using them for over 20 years.
