Ok, so I am having computer issues...meaning my computer is my issue. When we moved back to Gresham we bought a new computer because our other one was toast. We couldn't turn if off because we wouldn't be able to turn is back on. So, anyways I have somewhat lost touch with computers. I can do the basics but that's about it. Well, we decided to get a Mac because they are supposed to be so great, and easier to use. I am finding that is only if you know how to use it. Most things are easy if you know how to use them, but to completely re-learn something is HARD.
I am FRUSTRATED to say the least. We can't always see the forwards with movies or news movies, and now I just figured out that I can't used picasa because they don't have a program available to a Mac...now tell me why is a Mac better? Ok, so my last complaint is with the pictures. Mac's are suppose to be great because they come with iPhoto, but not all my pictures are there? I can find them, but that doesn't mean I can put them into iPhoto, so instead I have pictures everywhere on my computer. And a can't seem to upload them onto blogger, because it won't work. Ugg!
So I'm trying to have a good attitude, but it is getting more and more difficult. I guess there are free classes I can take, but I don't exactly have the time to go to Bridgeport to do that. And more than likely I wouldn't understand it anyways. Ok, I'm done venting, and hopefully someday I'll get the pictures up of our trip to the pumpkin patch on our blog. Now I'm off to make some toasted pumpkin seeds, maybe that will cheer me up.

heidi, you crack me up, dont give up on the blog thing. we will patiently wait for you to figure it out.
oh my...I am so sorry for your frustration! Eric is telling me tons of solutions to your problems as I type this. Maybe we could come over one night and bring you dessert, let the kids play, and you could get a lesson from Eric about your computer. You will love your apple someday soon...just give it a little time.
In the meantime, download flip4mac which will let you view windows media files.

For picasa, google just last week released an extension for iphoto that lets you post pictures directly to your picasa web album.
