Hi Journal & Friends,
I shared this photo before, but it's one of my favorites, and I am sort of in the mood for it again, LOL! (click to enlarge)
Enjoy the Journey,
Loretta

Thanks for sharing, Loretta. It is an inspiring picture.
Very cool pic!
That photo sort of embodies my 30-year dieting history!
that will be me, still hoping to get published one day.
I just realized you write "made on a mac by Rettakat" so am assuming you have a mac. I want to get one for my daughter (a laptop) for her birthday, but she wants a pc and thinks a mac will be difficult to operate. What do you think? I knew someone with a Mac and I swear she could never use it, so I'm nervous about that. (Plus I may not be able to afford it anyway)
NANCY: Ah yes, Macs. You either love 'em, or hate 'em. I LOVE mine. Jim, being a photographer, loves it too. Most people in the visual arts tend to like Macs, once they try it.
PROS:
-I've had our Mac for about 11 years...I have NEVER crashed.
-I have NEVER had a virus, worm, bug, or whatever. I never have to worry about bugs alerts that go around in emails, or that come if you click on this or that, or if you download something.
-It was easy to learn, the operating systems are very intuitive.
-They are high quality; not as many apps to choose from but the ones they make for a Mac are usually high quality.
CONS:
-The dang things DO cost more!
-There are NOT as many Mac compatible apps (though I have everything I need).
-You don't have all the free stuff online (which may or may not explode or infect your PC!)
-There are times when I haven't been able to see pics or docs that people send in email. I now have a new translator app that should help with that, though.
-If your daughter uses a PC at school and elsewhere, I might be confusing or frustrating for her to have to switch back and forth.
-She might not be able to view certain DVD's if they are not formatted for a Mac, though the majority of them nowadays are dual formatted.
-Personal preference; if all her friends are using PC's, she might not want to be different, and some of the chat gizmos might not work the same, or at all on a Mac. And if she is into gaming, some of the online Games don't work right with a Mac.
That's a starting place... you could do a search on the pros and cons of using a Mac, vs a PC.
Hope that helps!
Loretta

The pic is lovely! My husband has a Mac and loves it. We have a Vitamix blender and it is great with the green smoothies - one of the best investments we made in the last year. It is a really strong machine and has been holding up really well. I love that I can add my whole flax seeds to it.
I like that. Gets my creative juices going. :)
Thanks for all that information Retta! Well your cons dont seem much like cons (except the price!!!) Caitlin doesnt chat online and she's not a gamer. She likes digital design though and spends her free time on the computer doing that. Mostly she is a writer like me and will be using her laptop to write. I would love for her to have a laptop that would not crash! But I think because of the price we may be forced to just get a pc.
