I'm an iMac!



WHAT HAVE I DONE???

Sooooooo, we have been saving up to get me a new computer for a while now. With doing so much more digital scrapbook designing I needed something more powerful than my laptop. It was driving me crazy trying to design new papers or elements and it taking a good 2 minutes just to have one action do it's job!

NOW, I have a screaming iMac! Why an iMac you say? Well we have been told that it is the best computer you can have if you are a graphics designer!

WELLLLL, it's driving me nutz! So many years of being proficient on a PC and now with the iMac, all the shortcuts are different, the folders are different, the software is different! UGH!

Slowly I am getting used to it! I YOU HAVE AN iMAC and could give me a few tips, I welcome any comments on this post! LOL!

Here is my new baby.... well, she is a BIG baby, 24 inches, lol!
YES, the computer is INSIDE of the monitor! No tower to mess with, I could take this puppy to crops if I wanted to, lol!
