A few more computers

In my last post, I mentioned that we now have a new computer (Dell – Inspiron 23.8″) that is in the family room. In a few months, I’ll be purchasing an iMac for my daughter that will be located in her room. Currently, she has our old computer (Acer Aspire) in her room. That computer is about four or five years old. While it’s great for general school work. For things such as video editing, which she does a lot, its simply not fast enough and so eventually, I’ll have to upgrade her computer.

I’m planning on upgrading that computer to a 27″ iMac. It will definitely helpful for all her computer needs and I won’t have to think about upgrading for a few years. Apple computers aren’t new to me. I purchased my first, a 17″ MacBook Pro in 2006 and I’ve been a fan of Apple products since that time.

I’m also looking at a laptop for myself and most likely will purchase another MacBook Pro. It’s just too bad that they stopped making the 17″, because I would have chosen that. Instead, I’ll have to settle for the 15″ MacBook Pro. I most likely will purchase my daughter’s iMac before November and perhaps the MacBook Pro will be a December gift for me. Since I dislike bills, I will be paying them off at the time of purchase.

It’s been a super busy summer. The garden is flourishing and my daughter and I have been immersed in numerous activities, which does not give me too much time to post. However, I’m slowly trying to work that back into my routine. I have taking plenty of food pictures. I just need to get around to uploading them on Celebrate Life.

Saturday, we purchased a new computer from Best Buy.

And while it was supposed to work out of the box, it didn’t. The wireless keyboard and mouse weren’t connecting, for whatever reason. Thank goodness for the touch screen feature, or I would have had even more of a challenge as I tried to solve the issue. I’m still getting used to the touch screen feature on my computer. Yes… I have it on my iPad, but I still find it “odd” to touch my computer screen. In time, I’ll adjust.

In other news…

The garden is coming along nicely and I’ll be sure to post pictures soon. Since we now have  desktop again, I’ll be posting on here a bit more. We do have a laptop, but outside of work, I rarely use it… and I dislike writing blog posts on my iPad.
