My laptop has been in dire need of replacing for awhile, but now that it wouldn’t load my pictures from the camera anymore, it was time.  After asking for recommendations and talking to the folks at the store, I joined the Mac world .  This will take some getting use to, but I will figure it out.  For now, adjusting from a 17 inch screen to a 13 inch screen will take some time.  Budgets can be a bummer!  Oh yeah, did I also mention that I got a new {used} camera too!
