oops . . .

you know the snowball effect?

well . . .

Adobe sent me an offer for Creative Cloud:  Photoshop, Light Room and Bridge for $9.99 a month.  great deal.  i'm still running CS4 which has been my old faithful but antiquated so well, i succumbed. 

but, although Creative Cloud will run on my iMac, it is not supported by my four year old laptop which is still running Snow Leopard and only has 4GB and whose highest speed is a waddle.  hum.

so i bought a new laptop.  hey, i deserve it.  it keeps the crazy at bay.

so now i have to learn Photoshop CC and Light Room.  forget about Bridge. 

but, my ACDSee app won't work with Mavericks.  so i downloaded a 15 day free trial of ACDSee Pro 3 for Mac.  the verdict is still out.

but then my EHD failed.  fortunately, i was able to retrieve the goodies stored there.  yay.  and, i have a 2T i got for Christmas, so all is good.

so let's add that up.  one email cost me:

a year long subscription
a new laptop
a new organization system
and a whopper of a learning curve.

yep, life is good!
