The Next Best Thing

Friday April 3rd, 2009 at 06:10PM

I've been traveling back and forth from Europe with a 17", 12 pound computer, Nikon/Minolta cameras and lenses for many years.

It's been a pure pain to carry so much and especially, when I have had to go to through various check points at airports.

Sometime, I've wondered if it's been all worthwhile.

A few months ago, I was to take a very important trip to see someone special.

During my preparations, my LAPTOP was making these funny sounds and, as I said in my previous post, the computer totally died.

I lost a lot of work that I had not backup'd, and to YOU!

Yes! YOU!

BACKUP YOUR COMPUTER!

I am an adult, and why should I follow my own advice.

But, YOU SHOULD!

Anyway, while I was in the middle of repairing my computer, my son and daughter-in-law gave me a hackless, unwormed, free from updating countless security patches, APPLE.

Yes! My first APPLE.

Well, needless to say ... I didn't go on my trip to see that special someone, and that was sad.

But, while I lost one opportunity another fell on my lap[top].

Sorry ... I couldn't resist.

I have had Apple Computers since the eighties, even worked at an Apple Center.
They are easy to use, too easy in fact, make me feel dumb.
To people like me, technicians whom have studied electronics/computing, Apple Computer just do not work. They are limiting.

But of course I understand they work fine for people not willing to get in depth knowledge of their computers.

Thanks so much for your reply!

And,

I am sorry for my late reply.

I have been working on getting a calibrator for my laptop xp system and I think I read in one of your blogs that you had bought one.

I am going to check on that blog and come back to you with some questions if I may.

Regards,

luna

Of course you can, even if I have limited experience. But yes, in order to get the best out of your photos, you DO need a calibration system.

Congratulations on your Apple!

Which model is it and what does it do?

Maybe I'll go to Dows and take a look at what they have!
