So far so good on the sanity part...are you taking Lamictal? If so, I'll have to switch before it hits me, sanity would ruin my reputation :-)

I wish I had a couple of hours, I'd feel so blessed. I started this post at 8:00, it's now 9:53 but who's counting..I don't know where to start after opening the pic. The format is so different from what I'm used to, and it has a lot of options I've never SEEN before. Micrografx was simple for what I needed at the time, and almost feel I wasted my time getting PS.

Take the plunge and turn it on. Who fixed it, a pro or a friend? If you took it wasn't a friend and doesn't work, there should be some kind of warranty? (you probably know that already, but I'm used to working with people that have no idea how to do anything except turn it on and log on to the net and check email (I had to show them).

I'm so excited for you being so close to getting your own home. I'm self taught on everything I know-close to taking the MOUS Master exam (Microsoft Office User Specialist)

Yes, I'm still awake at this point ;-) I subscribed to all sorts of E-zines, newsgroups, discussion boards, all sorts of things to learn what I know. I guess it depends on the software, etc. I can maintain my own-we could start our own business-you software and me hardware..hehe

I have PS 6, what a waste, huh? I've installed & uninstalled so many times it's unreal...I usually get frustrated, uninstall then reinstall when I have the urge to try again. At this point, it's making me dizzy.


Talk at ya later
