Pandora's Box

Have you ever bought a new piece of say... wolf art... and then needed to rearrange your whole living room just to accommodate the new piece? Pandora's box.

Well, we have opened our own present. Paul bought me this incredible camera for Christmas and now that I can take great pictures, I want to edit them. So, as I slowly lift the lid to the box, it's contents come spilling out and I am left with a mess. See, I have tried photoshop ( I still am choosing not to capitalize), and just yesterday wanted to try Mac's version Aperture. It looks great and I can easily switch between my iphoto and it. Doesn't sound too messy yet, but it is coming. I was shocked when I tried to download the free trial, it only took 9 minutes (compared to the hour photoshop took)! Another sign that Mac is better. Here is the mess... my computer can't support the software. My computer is so old that it doesn't have enough Ram! AHHHHH! I have finally found the editing program I want to use my fantastic camera with, create amazing photos, wow the world with my talents.... well, not really. I can't do it. There all around me is my mess. What do I do? For now, I have downloaded the free trial to Paul's computer because he has 1GB of ram compared to my measly 512MB. Mac's new desktops are now coming with a whopping 4GB that can be upgraded to 8GB! But having it on his computer is obviously not a solution. Do I need to get a new computer? AHHHHHHHH! Well, that is my box and all my mess. I know it is not life or death but my world has been opened, my eyes can see the possibilities and it is out of reach. Oh well. I am sure there will be a solution but not for a long time. Perhaps we could by a new desk top in the summer and get Paul another free new itouch because his is toast and doesn't work. Humm, lotsa decisions.
