SDP Updates: PC Died, Got an iMac!

The last couple of weeks were unbelievable crazy for me, both personally and professionally. For a start, my PC died on me on 24th. I managed to backup quite a lot of files minutes before my processor quits on me, but couldn’t save a few of my half written recent blog posts and some financial statements. I knew my PC days are numbered; I just never thought it would be so soon—two months ago I reformatted that Dell PC!

Got Rid of PC and Got an iMac

I had always wanted to switch to a Mac for almost two years but I kept holding on to PC OS because of some software I use. Having said, I had enough of reformatting my PC every six to nine months which took up quite considerably amount of my time, hence I got a iMac.

I thought my problems (computer hiccups) would be solved once I made that switch (I’ve high expectations for Mac) but no, it didn’t, at least for the first 6 six days I have my iMac. Too many Mac voodoos especially after I installed the Snow Leopard. I practically had to call Mac support everyday (some days twice) to solve some mysterious OS hangs and hardware malfunction. There was no work done at all last week, and I got to the point of pulling my hair out. Finally, I told the Apple reseller to replace me a new iMac, which they agreed; thankfully. However, I have to wait about a week or two for my replacement because mine comes with a numeric keyboard instead of the standard (short) one.

This pretty much explains one of the reasons why the quietness around here for the past 13 days. Hopefully by later this week I would have my new iMac and get my Adobe Creative Suite 4 installed, I should be up and running early next week. Meanwhile, I’ll work on what I have currently and hope to get one or two short posts written and answer as many emails as I can.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.
