Them Changes...


If you said, "Buddy Miles," give yourself 300 bonus points.

I am trying to transition from my venerable MacBook Pro to an iPad.  As we all know, there are a gazillion apps for the iPad, but nothing as powerful as the full Photoshop software on the computer.  Since we are no longer working, I don't use all the PS capabilities, but I do take a lot of photos... and they all need to be tweaked: color, density, crop, and resize.  There are free or inexpensive apps that will do that... but, I have never used them.

I have also been web surfing for a couple decades on my MacBooks, while Joan has been using iPads.  I find I have to say, "How do you do ....?" A lot.  Over the years, we have downloaded a lot of apps for phones and iPads.  Now, I find myself wading through all those while I try to determine which ones I'll really use.  For the record, I bought my first iPad when Apple came out with the cellular capable model, with an eye on using it for marine navigation.  I have also kept track of songs with an app on the iPad Mini (handy to clip it to a mic stand).  Other than that, I have relied more on my good ol MacBook Pros and phones.  'Cuz... photos.

I have to say that touching the screen is not normal for me.  I am used to the trackpad.  In fact, I have had to keep a close watch on Joan when she is looking at anything on my laptop, because she keeps wanting to touch the screen.  ;-)

And, all the while waiting for the e-mail from Emerald, alerting me that the new guitar has shipped.  (See where my mind goes?)


Do you see "the face" on the front of this guitar?

My MacBooks are old friends; been using them since the first one came out. I can use them without a second thought. When the iPads first came out, I showed Joan how to use it... now, having to ask her how to do things on it has been humbling. ;-)
