What a difference! My new laptop fires up in minutes rather than twenty! An almighty jump. I use a Mac for image download and tweaking (cannot beat a Mac for this) - then I dump my images on a memory stick and move them onto my laptop for posting. Happy you like my site, I just got this up and running recently, thought I had better do it while I still remembered how to set up Word Press and all of that fun stuff. It feels really good to get all of my work under one electronic roof. Cheers Pam. ESP. I have been working on an old computer until I joined the modern processing speed driven world recently.

I wish. It was my DH's old Compaq; I still didn't have my own computer at that point. We were PCers for many, many years before finally switching over to Macs somewhat recently. However, I do still do most of my blogging on a desktop PC, only because I don't like learning how to do things on a new machine. Pitiful. Nope, no techie, I. Instead I got my MA in--what else?--English Lit. I've seen your design site and am impressed to know that you have come up with designs for products like the Compaq. Techno-geek? I wish.

Welcome home, and I hope you all had a nice time on your vacation. The new Patch color has made a huge difference to the area, it is amazing how much it has set off the color of adjacent foliage, in particular the mountain laurel in full bloom...it looks incredible! Hence I am thinking a large amount of Mex. bush sage in the front. (I fear I may have to replant after all the foot traffic required to repaint our house). Interested in your thesis...and what did you do your masters in? And what a Compaq blast from the past! I just knew you were a techno-geek:-) I designed the Compaq Presario 5000 series some years back. See www.leveridgedesign.com for some of my other design endeavors. Welcome back to crazy Austin weather, weather that was spring only a day or so ago! ESP. Hi Pam.

It's wonderful! Can't wait to see it in person on the crazy-crowded tour this fall. ;-) And I believe I wrote my master's thesis on that Osborne portable computer. No, not really, but something similar--a portable Compaq, something like this: http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/80/27080-050-6CA29A42.jpg Really, wouldn't a typewriter have been easier?
