I forgot to mention that Apple also announced another “pro” app called Aperture. I don’t know much about it, except it has enhanced RAW image format capabilities and is designed with the professional photographer in mind…
I feel really bad that I can’t actually read entire computer blog, but it’s not really all that exciting to me. Anyway, Kevin put together his dream computer the other night and told me it was going to cost $28,000. Seriously!! You can?t drive it, you can?t cuddle with it, it can?t keep you safe, Peanut won?t benefit from it. I?m hoping he?s joking.
Yes, I was joking. But it would have been nice, had we won that 360 Mil. Powerball Jackpot…
