Lookin' Good.

Back on line - great thing!
I picked up my supercharged Mac yesterday - finally! To commemorate the day - I also purchased some iKlear. I really had not noticed how dismal my laptop had become. As the Mac guy was showing me the new Leopard - and finding my BOOKMARKS ( hurrah!) - I couldn't stop staring at the filth on my screen, keys - generally all over. I guess having the computer in the kitchen and referencing recipes, sending e-mails, and otherwise surfing with cooking hands can make things a bit greasy to say the least. No longer. I have a svelte - polished machine.

Very Proud.

Now - I have to figure out how to get my mail to open...

Arrghhhh..

Ok - I have read others' posts about computer problems with some interest lately - as mine is getting on in computer years ( 4 ) and has had few (maybe none) updates. Interest mainly because I could feel their pain - and knew I would probably be in their shoes at any moment. (but not now - of course)

This morning while getting e-mails - I tried to look at some pictures my father sent to me of his rennovation at the shore house. I couldn't get to the pics (my safari was just too old!). Oh - but I wanted to see them - so just update to the new version - no problem I thought. CRAP. Now my safari and my mail don't work.

Thanks goodness my dad is a Mac guy (isn't it his fault in the first place - being to tec with those pictures?). He politely told me that my operating system - Leopard - or Zebra or whatever is just too old to get any updates. I will be hopefully receiving in the mail tomorrow - and update (upgrade as in the movie Robots).

The goal here is to upgrade without completely erasing all of my STUFF - and pictures and other bits and pieces - because I know just where everything is! And - to be able to post with PICTURES - as now (using some ancient version of Explorer - I really think it's from 2001) I cannot see any buttons on Blogger to add photos to anything....

And lastly - goal - to be able to still see all of my BOOKMARKS - because I can't tell you how carefully I have been saving everyone's addresses etc - and I hate to think of trying THAT all over again..

No Printsy Thursday this week - wish me luck.
