Promue Deordinateur

 I must apologize to my readers for such a late post. But you must understand, I had a combined enemy of moving to a new computer and creative block working against me. I'm sure you can sympathize with me if you try hard enough. 

 I am now coming to you from a Mac instead of my old, noisy, and decrepit PC. It's going to take time getting used to such a new environment. For starters, it may interest you to know that my old computer screen was at least half the size of this one. It almost gives me headache to have so much space. The most irritating thing I can think of about using a Mac is that I cannot simply right-click anything. I have to hold Ctrl and only then can I right-click. Because of this I have come to realize just how much I right-click things. Think about this for a second. When copying text, or saving a picture to my files, or opening a window in a new tab, for all of these I used the right-click. Of course, with a Mac, to save a picture all you have to do is drag it to your desktop. ( Frankly, all this "dragging" gives me the heebie geebies. It's like Macs can defy gravity or something.) But I really have difficulty missing my old PC. I mean, I got a new iPod as well. ( Not really new, so much as my Mother's old one which is an upgrade of my old one.) So if I don't post as often it is because I tend to have less time on the computer these days, and I have yet to get totally used to the new Mac. :)
