Big Day for Fed Ex Ground and Ups Ground

Today was a big day for both of the carriers.

I have been tracking the progress of a couple important items across the country for a week..(isn't tracking nice). The memory for my new computer.. it will be up to 4 gb of ram arrived by ups.. no signature required.

The adobe Design suite required a signature. Luckily Sue was up when the man knocked on the door from Fed Ex Ground. The label said that it came from Elk Grove but the tracking on the order said that it was coming from the East Coast. My only resolution for that was that they were out of Academic versions and they were waiting for the bulk replacements of the treasure. If you order the computer and the software together through Apple there is a 1200 dollar savings on the combined shipment of both. So it finally arrived this afternoon and it is installed. The way it works on this version is that they send you the academic version without a serial number. When you supply the verification of your academic workplace they send you by email your serial number. Without the number your version that took about 45 minutes to install is toast.. and I don't mean the program.

Its been a bit of major pain because the only access that I have had to photos and images has been through the old computer. I haven't set up the communication cord to go to both at once, although it is possible. So I have been moving the ethernet cord from one to another as needed and been working with the new one to get used to it whenever possible. There are some drivers that have to be downloaded from the web for everything to work as well as it was working on the old 20 incher.. non intel based.

Mom finished up the rest of the mac and cheese for lunch today. She admitted that she had met her tolerance for it.. remember, she is the one that called for it in the first place.

It was pretty bitter cold today, with just enough wind to make you cold no matter where you were. This is nothing compared to what is going on East of here in the mountains or on the East coast.

Thee was no rain however. We have just had about enough of that rain stuff for a while.

Hope your Monday was good
