"I'm Baaaaaack" ~ All is well ~ Love my new computer!

Wow! I had no idea how dependent I was on my computer! I actually had withdrawal symptoms the first two days I was without "my precious".

Anyway, I ended up buying an Apple IMAC !!! And I am LOVING IT!!! I had some issues setting up and determined that a wireless network was not going to work for us. Also, after deciding to go back to a direct ethernet connection,  found out that the wiring from the DSL jack to the modem downstairs was "fried" by the lightning strike and had to be replaced. 

A big "Atta Boy" goes out to Shane of Viroqua computers who was able to salvage all of my data from my old computer and put it on CDs for me. Way to go Shane ~ you are my new BEST FRIEND!

Now, if I can only get rid of my "PC Brain" and start learning the Apple MAC based software. Stay tuned.....the adventure begins.....

Lightning Strikes ~ "Girl Interupted"

Lightning hit our house last night and my computer is "FRIED". All art projects have come to a screeching halt! I can't believe how SICK and UPSET I am that I do not have access to my beautiful vintage images, my verses and sayings, my links to fellow artists' blogs, etc. I will know this afternoon if my computer is repairable or not and if my data is salvagable or not. Meanwhile I am shutting down my Etsy shop as it is just not possible to run a business from the town library computers! So.....I will be offline until my computer is fixed or we get it replaced. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Emily. XOXO
