Today
I go to the Apple store
and pick up my new baby.
I will have a short
"get aquainted"
session with a
"trainer"
who will be younger than
my son.....
And I will try
oh so hard to sound like
I know a thing or two.
In reality,
I know much more
than your average
52 yr old woman,
with a degree in
History.
But I am still
a little slow
on verbalizing my
questions...
Maybe a couple
cups of coffee
since this
lesson is at 6pm.
Insecurity
plagues me,
when faced with
a totally out of my comfort zone
experience.
I wonder if we ever really
grow out of this?
What has been your experience?
Smiles.
Ooops...
almost forgot.
The photo was taken in
Florence, Italy (2003)
It has a tendency to appear
in my frontal lobe whenever
I am facing something
that I am not sure of.....

Love my IMac. I want a notebook but can't afford an apple, not sure if I can get used to a PC again! My daughter has a Mac Book Pro that we had to purchase for school (art student). I would steal it if I could. You will love your Mac! Enjoy!!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot! And you are going to love your new baby!
ReplyDeletenot that I've ever been to an Apple Store, but from what I understand their reps are very good. You'll be fine! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay! Hope you enjoy your new Mac! Have a super week!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE my i-phone it is so easy to love...Cate:)
ReplyDeleteLove the photo!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? I can become so plagued by insecurity when undertaking something new that I render myself temporarily useless. No total thought can be computed.
I don't speak Mac and if faced with one, I'd be overwhelmed.
Well....I can happily report that the experience was a piece of cake! The young man that helped me was intelligent, easy to be with....and didn't think any of my questions were stupid ( or if he did, he hid it well).
ReplyDeleteI am finding everything pretty well...and have installed Aperture 3, WOW! Does anyone else have this? It is simply blowing my mind.
More to come...smiles.
Fabulous photograph – it speaks volumes! So glad it all went well. I use Lightroom so can't speak for Aperture but hubby uses both and likes them about equally. Have FUN! :)
ReplyDeleteHi: Just came upon your blog... and your post of going to get the new IMac. I had been a Windows person for oh so many years...and gotmy IMac two years ago. AND, just last week, got the MacBook. So, yes, I have left Windows behind and couldn't be happier!!! What a difference it makes in your work, right?
ReplyDeleteI'll be back!
