Chugging along, little PC and Mac...
Brian's been doing a bang-up job of moving my myriad of folders from Outlook and Outlook Express...its taken literally DAYS to move over all my info, iTunes, and various crap...and its still not all done...I still can't update Dreamweaver just yet, the files are in transit, so I can't use them on either machine...that'll be resolved eventually...He's supposed to install Parallels for me, which will allow me to run a PC environment within the Mac world, thereby allowing me to use Stamps.com to print labels and watch movies instantly on Netflix, neither of which are Mac compatible...its taking awhile, but it'll all be there eventually..
and has he said 'once we migrate you over to the Mac, we aren't migrating you back'...no kidding! this is not an easy task, and I'm not asking to go back...I'm absolutely infatuated with my 17" glossy screen, its like looking into the future, all shiny and bright...me likey!
But for now, I'm writing to you on the PC since he's knee-deep on the Mac...at least something is working, that's all I ask for...yesterday I could not connect to the wireless, it just wouldn't connect...reboot, nothing...try passwords, nope...then last night, it locked me out entirely...nice...then this morning, it was allowing me on again...crazy!
As far as business goes, I'm still working on the beads, but I'm making great headway and am happy with the results...The next few days are All Nuggets and Lentils, All The Time...For those of ya'll who might have missed this round, I'm not sure I will open a Round 3, unless there's plenty of demand for it, and I don't know that there is...so my thought was I'd post some strands on Etsy for ya'll who'd like some of this color scheme, and that'll let me move onto the next color scheme, which i've already got in my head...I'm glad ya'll like this 'pick and choose' method of ordering beads, it seems to work out well for both of us - you get exactly the beads you want and I'm able to make exactly what you want instead of being left with beads no one wants...thankfully that doesn't happen often, but its a different bead-world out there than it was 5 years ago - i read on Kate McKinnon's post yesterday that she spoke to some beadmakers at Tucson who are afraid they might not be able to stay in business, and I have to say I'm thankful ya'll are still here with me...rock and roll!!!
