mac or pc
There is never a good time for your computer to just stop working but there are definitely times that are worse than others. Our notebook PC has completely lost its power supply. I have all my data stored on an external hard drive...but can't get to any of it...and I was in the middle of working on all of the certificates and signs for our school auction this weekend. So I've had to move all work over to our iMac. Now the big question around here is what to replace the notebook with...a PC or a Mac? I spent all day yesterday creating auction documents in Word:Mac and it wasn't too hard to make the transition. I even uploaded one picture from my camera...no Photoshop though. Has anyone jumped from a PC to a Mac and not liked it?
Other than the auction stuff, I have also been busy this week finishing up not one, but two, altered train cases. I am using the paper squares pictured to make a nice patchwork background on one of them. The other is the pretty robin's egg blue case I posted about a few weeks ago. I've been contacted by a few readers about my train cases and decided to create an email list to send information about etsy shop updates and such. Just check out my sidebar on the left for information about getting on the list...I promise not to pester you with lots of emails and, of course, will never share your email address. If I can figure this whole Mac thing out, I hope to have a big update to my shop on Monday.
Now, I've got to get busy on those auctions documents. Have a good spring weekend!
You can really get anything done on either. I used to be a die-hard Mac fanatic, but after mine was stolen and I started using our Windows machine, I found that the PC met my needs just as well. It's just not as . . . fun. I really think it's just a personal preference. At this point, I'll probably be sticking with the PC because we bought the Adobe Creative Suite for it. That costs more than a new computer.

Sorry to hear about your notebook. I have a PC, but my husband loves Macs. My parents just bought a new PC, but HATE Windows Vista. I agree, it is not my cup of tea, but I could get used to is.
Thanks so much for the lovely apron and book! I posted all about it today.

I can't live without photoshop and couldn't face the replacement cost, so that's why we'll be a PC family for years to come, I think.

Go for the Mac. I love my macbook! I would get another. It is easy to make the switch. IT doesn't get viruses as much as PC's do nor does it crash. A far superior computer IMHO.

We have been Mac uses since 1990 and have never ever gotten a virus! They are sooo user friendly and sooo much fun!

Couldn't stay away for ST Sunday! Missed the button challenge, so decided to show off my vintage buttons! You can go right over here.
For your daily dose of vintage goodness a bit of silliness, stop by Confessions of an Apron Queen, the home of Vintage Thingies Thursdays.

oh dear... computer deaths are never fun! :p I'm so sorry that happened; I always freak out when our computer's have died. lol.
having worked with both mac's and pc's (I have a pc-notebook right now), I think I might go with a mac for my next computer. I just like how easy the interface is for graphic designing (drag and drop?! brilliant. :). but, then again, I'm not in the market (yet! *keeps fingers crossed*) for a new computer. best of luck with finding a new computer!!!! :)
