Default My slow is your fast!

A smooch to Rex at ScrappingSimply who walked me through the upload when my computer just wouldn't cooperate this morning.

While we were doing part of the upload, when he was 'on' my computer, he said Boy, you're smokin'! LOL, I knew he didn't mean me per se...I'm not even sure I ever had any smokin' days but ...I had to laugh with him. I said, I've felt my iMac has been slow and he said Oh no..it's smokin'. Well what do I know. I guess we...er I...get so spoiled and expect the machine to go as fast as I think or maybe even faster and anticipate what I'm going to think!

Anyhow, I had a lot of gratitude that he got the process done, my photos are in the print process and he'll be back to me later with a conference call to see if they can resolve my iMac's little tantrum. Maybe my iMac knew I was thinking it's slow??? Maybe I can just pat its little frame and whisper ...Smokin'.

I'm glad your mac is Smokin! The mac that you thought was slow is 1 lean mean fighting machine - maybe it'll quit throwing tantrums! This made me laugh!

LOL - that's funny. He sounds like a really helpful guy. And know when a layout is going well you can tell yourself, "yes, I'm smokin'!"

Mollie, are you having a problem with uploading? or are you just teasing me. If you have a problem, then he'll have two iMacs in one day. I just ordered another 50 print credit so I'm set for the next 6 months. btw, the man has twins under 1 yr - he needs support!!
