iMac baby!

Well, I did it, I got my new computer! Let me tell you, it's such a beautiful machine and I'm already so happy I made the switch. BUT- it's been a whirlwind past two days and I'm trying really hard to get caught up on everything so bear with me! I've got my email transitioned but I still have to migrate all of my prior messages and files over and that will take some time. I actually have both computers hooked up so I can go back to my old one as needed. My biggest thing on the Mac is that I keep moving my mouse pointer over to the very left of the screen, where my Taskbar once used to be! It's definitely relearning EVERYTHING and at times I feel a little computer illiterate as I try to navigate around the new system. The switch was not made in vain, my PC was crapping out and just couldn't handle what I needed it to do. After not having accesses to certain things, I had to go out and get a new system ASAP. So, now I'm really behind and my schedule is not letting up. So again, bear with me!

Me and the boys spent the day at the State Fair yesterday with my friend and her son. We decided to take the bus there from a park and ride and what a mistake that was! It was so stressful trying to make it there and back in time to catch the bus since they only run once an hour. On the way there, we all had to share a seat and on the way home we had to stand! I didn't mind standing but it would have been nice if someone offered a seat to my boys! They tried to sit on the floor and were flying around all over the place. This lady that was sitting kept looking at them as if being by them was such a huge inconvenience. Ugh, I was so crabby! Next year I will definitely be driving! After the Fair, I went to the Mall of America and got my computer at Apple. We stopped by my sister's house and she got my iMac all configured for me since I've never really worked with one before. I got some pointers and then we headed home. We were so wiped! We got home late and I was too tired to even play with it.

Two random pictures from the Fair and a shot I took tonight while emptying the boys' pool for the summer:

Olivia, I live across the street from the fair - the North Entrance off Larpenteur. Next time come park in my driveway, and come and go whenever you want. :)

You emptied the pool for the summer?? That's sad :(

We are filling ours on a nightly basis and will be for months to come ;)

Very cool about the iMac - Eric is completely envious!

Olivia,
imac's are awesome. I bought a new one a couple months ago... although not the new cool one.

Anyway, you can move your "dock" to the left side of the screen if you like. Under your apple menu select "dock" then, submenu "position at left".

If you need any other help with mac stuff please let me know - you've helped me tons with all your photographer advice.... dnemitz@mac.com

Thanks,
