Harry was in DC, he was attending inauguration parties and galas with
all of the union and political dignitaries. They had suites set up for
him along the parade route, and Obama came up to him just to meet him.
Ask him for pictures!

Oh come on - that wasn't nice.

This is the era of hope and change. Like the bishop said yesterday -
"Yellow is mellow".

Er...

Never mind.

I know, you are correct. Harry hasn't been away from his computer long
enough to go anywhere. Sorry.

Hey - look at it this way - at least he was in one place - in a
quantum world, he could be anywhere and everywhere at the same time.

Just think, as soon as he figures out how to use Photoshop, we'll be
seeing a picture of him meeting Obama.

Only makes sense - as soon as I figure out how to do it, I'm going to
have a picture of me meeting Obama. :)

Aarrgh. I'd love to meet Obama. Just a handshake would be enough for me.

Not much chance of me learning photoshop. I don't have it on any of my
computers, and I have no interest in getting it or learning it. If I
wanted to produce abstract art, I'd get some brushes, canvas, and
paints. Just about any photo software package will attend to the bit of
post processing of photos I do. I use Aperture when I need to. Those
sneaky folks at the Apple store run free or almost free classes for
their applications, and darned if they didn't hook me with that and the
free tech support when I need it from English-speaking locals.

In fact, last time I was at the store, I actually had an "appointment"
for a consult, the schedule was running late, so I walked across the
mall corridor for a coffee and when I came back it was my turn. No
endless meandering through automated telephone systems.

One of the local pros has Aperture 2 and I had a chance to see it in
action a couple of weeks ago.

It's not bad, but I was surprised at how similar to Paint Shop Pro it
was.

It's also Mac centric - you have to have a mind that works in Mac with
respect to the work flow.

And I'll be honest - I've never understood the Mac way of doing
things.

Here's a tip that might save you a trip to the mall for a consult. When
the screen won't light up, check the power cord.

I'm not familiar with paint shop pro, but I will take your word for the
similarities.

In 2001, when I started a new consulting contract with a client, the
client provided a workstation for me with a new Apple Mac laptop. For
whatever reasons, but probably nearly 20 years of working with PCs, I
simply could not fathom the damned thing. Just about everything on it
seem counter intuitive.

Sometime after that I started hanging out at the Mac store at the mall
when my wife dragged me along on shopping trips. I really got hooked on
Mac ergonomics and slowly...very slowly...I started learning a little
bit about a couple of Mac applications that were relevant for me.

After so many years of hanging out at the Apple stores, one of the
managers finally said, Hey...you ever gonna buy one? I bit the bullet
and sold off my IBM Thinkpad T23, a superior laptop for its time, and
bought an Apple Mac Pro about a year ago.

Well, I love the machine now and in the next couple of weeks, I will be
buying an Apple desktop.

You are right about the Mac way, though...a lot of it is still odd to me.

Meanwhile, I have all sorts of PC stuff around to give away or sell...a
couple of DVD writing drives, one a lightscribe, 6 gigs of high speed
ram, a nice video card, a recent pentium CPU, a new internal dial up
modem...

What I am keeping from the PC world includes my HP mediasmart server,
which runs under Windows Server 2003, and which I use to backup
everything and to distribute movies and music, and the other server I am
building out of my last desktop PC.
