hardware update
Ya'll may remember when I got my new flat screen monitor, that I got a new Dell color printer at the same time. But soon after getting my new Powerbook, I found out even Gimp-Print couldn't make my Dell printer work with mac. bah!So no biggie, I decided to just sell it & get a new one that worked w/ both. And conveniently right as I was thinking that, my friend was looking to buy a color printer. Yay, take mine! She gladly did as the price was right (less than I paid for it and it's still practically brand new!) and I was happy to have it given to a friend. (no offense craigslist, I still love you)
So she sorta needed it in a hurry and I figured I don't really print stuff much, so I let her take it & planned on getting a replacement down the road at some point. But I never realized how many little things I use my printer for! It's only been maybe a week or so - and already I've realized all the silly things, like quickly printing out directions - to more serious things, like printing out the pdf invoice I'm sending and making sure the graphic header doesn't look all pixely when the client prints it out, etc.
So I finally went & bought a new printer today! I *had* to, because I needed to print some documents to mail by 5pm today - and I figured I could have run to a friends house, or to Kinko's - but then decided I just needed to get it overwith.
Anyway - long story short, I just hooked up my new fandango'd printer, and it's pretty nice. It's my first Epson! It installed just fine & works with both computers. So far, so good!

Speaking of working with both computers, I bought a KVM Switch too! So as soon as I get a new USB keyboard, I'll be ready to go on using 1 monitor, 1 mouse, 1 keyboard and 1 set of speakers for BOTH of my computers. Cool huh!? I'm excited.

On the mac issues front, I haven't been able to "cut the cord", so to speak, on getting everything transferred back onto my PC in order to ship it off to the mac iDoctor. The last 2 weeks I've been soo busy with client work I simply didn't have time! I did however transfer all the 2nd user stuff back to the first user I'd created (what a pain), so now if I can just make the final step to drag stuff over to the PC, I'll be ready to pop it in that box & ship it off.
OK, enough geek talk. Over & Out.
