Several people have taken me to task lately. The problem....neglect of my blog. Good heavens, I did not realize that anyone actually read it.
My PC desktop motherboard fried on me a few weeks ago and I was faced with purchasing a new motherboard or a new computer. It was a good time to lobby dear husband for a new computer. After much research and thought and analysis of my technology needs I decided that I wanted to go Mac.
I am now the proud, obsessed owner of a 27" iMac. My genealogy software runs on Windows. No problem I just downloaded a partition, uploaded Windows 7 and installed The Master Genealogist, Second Site and a few other windows only apps. On my 27" screen I now run Windows with one or two apps open and Snow Leopard (the Mac OS) on the other side with about 10 apps open.
I do a good bit of research in my various paid subscriptions and also access all the online records that are contained in various state archives. As I research I put the data into a Windows Xcel program for analysis, evaluate the data in a Word document and put the finished result in my genealogy program. The genealogy program organizes the data and I can print many types of reports to give to my clients.
When I work I also stream iTunes through my earphones (husband has to have TV at top volume these days...he's hard of hearing), Facebook is open (need to cut back on that obsession), a calendar with alarms to remind me to quit working and stick my head in the freezer for awhile (one does have to eat), I stream a conservative and liberal news cast (need a good laugh once in awhile...the Chilean miner rescue was awesome in real time). I need a new chair! Maybe not, as the discomfort forces me to get up once in awhile and spend quality time with dear husband. For Christmas I want about 12 GB of new memory added to the computer. I do have a 16 GB flash drive attached to save files to also. I have a track pad and a mouse but wish they worked independently of each other so I ccould scroll in Windows and Snow Leopard at the same time.
So what do I do the rest of my free time? Garden, travel (just spent the weekend at a college reunion with my old buddies-no spouses. It was great to linger over memories and not have bored sighs pulling us out of our reverie.
No photos this session as I have not downloaded those into the computer yet!
A place for me to journal my adventures with life.
About Me
- Catherine
- Welcome dear readers. I have chosen to call my main blog Catherine Palace in honor of a visit to the real Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg several seasons ago. My life is like the rooms in her palace with a variety of wonderful things going on. My main blog chronicles my adventures with life and travel. The Genealogy Room and Textile Room are two very technical areas that deserve space of thier own both real and virtual. My husband and I are retired. He from government service and I from health care. We are now enjoying our families, travel and hobbies. There is space at the end of each blog for you to leave a comment if you like.
