To the effect; And that's its not always obvious to us non computer people what is holding up our computer. We think its the processor but it just may be the drives. These new non moving parts drives (flash?) have captured my imagination. Another way of saying they seem very much like a very good thing. Show me a machine with no moving parts and I'm looking at a machine I like. I first used Photoshop about a year after it came out. 1991 I think. And I had to restart my Mac SE with all extensions off to turn the program on. Then I couldn't make a rectangle out of it. It took up half my drive space. I took out the little folder thing called "unsharp mask" because I didn't want any of my picture to be unsharp. Which sounded very much to me like "ungood". But when I got next years version I left it in. and forgot about rectangles. With the first color machine from apple with was blazingly no faster than a Mac SE which I started out with and I think cost three grand or the price of a harpsichord. Which I was going to get with that money. But in the end voted for the twentieth century over the sixteenth. And am glad I did. Because of this thing called "music software" which I think could be my next big thing. As soon as I figure out this "digital photography" thing.
