iMac Saga Continues

last night we went to pick up the imacs. old & new. luckily, at the apple store they suggested we try it out while we were there to make sure it was properly set up. It was not. again, things not right - e-mail, itunes, safari bookmarks. anyway, they had one of their mac experts sit with us and go through to set up the machine properly. the .mac e-mail account he was unable to get squared away, so i'm going back in saturday morning to meet with the same mac expert so he can get it fixed. i can say that although they botched up the initial set up, the management at the store has worked to resolve the situation. there main problem is that they are just SO busy there - just about too busy to give the attention to the customer that at least i have come to expect from the apple store. as the hardware & software gets more complicated, either due to set up, or just because of the complex nature of it all, you've got to give the customer the attention to be able to use & fully enjoy this very expensive toy! 

in the meantime, here i sit, typing on my beautiful new imac and yes, i am enjoying it! once i take my digital scrapbooking class in a few weeks and begin to utilize photoshop elements, i'll enjoy it all the more. i did finally get to load my photos & movies from our vacation to walt disney world in december. OH - they turned out so beautiful. the color is so right, the depth of the resolution between the new 8 mp Panasonic camera and then the monitor on this imac - it's utterly breathtaking. in my usual style, i'm including a snapshot taken from the plane. on the return flight home as we flew over the golf of mexico. 

if i only had more time to stay here & enjoy my new toy - but alas, i need to go off to work in order to pay for all this fun. besides, i wouldn't be able to purchase more art supplies without an income. not a busy day today at work, so it won't be too bad. and next week i'm off to florida again only this time for work. that means more clouds & sky shots from the airplane. good day to you!
