JPennant: apart from wanting to throw this mac into the wall? Fine. Kinda ready to have this travelling over with
NY808: macs are cool
NY808: i was a mac user for years before i converted to the evil pc
NY808: whens the train ride?
JPennant: no train. bus. the great deal offer is sold out through this month
NY808: pttt...
NY808: dios mio, i hate long bus rides, i don't know how you do it
JPennant: Heh. I nap
JPennant: When Im travelling Im sleep deprived
JPennant: so I go to sleep very suddenly
JPennant: helpful on the bus..
NY808: so when is the trip "home"
JPennant: tonight, if I can get this #$&%$^ mac to cooperate
NY808: lol, why is the mac involved?
JPennant: Im trying to upload some pics.. and so far, Ive lost 30 original images
NY808: gah!
JPennant: and its ruined the copies of a few more
NY808: why is it doing that?
NY808: don't you keep the photos in its own folder before resizing it and stuff?
JPennant: well I lost the originals cuz it didnt copy them when I transferred them to the working folder
JPennant: it MOVED them.
JPennant: of course, I trash my working folder when Im done
NY808: your poor photos :-(
JPennant: good thing I didnt wipe the images off the camera, so I got them all back cept for those 30
NY808: were they good pics?
JPennant: yah
NY808: bleh
JPennant: an to add insult
JPennant: the high priced proggie Im using to rotate the images has now decided to corrupt the resulting images.
NY808: mac progs are tempermental like that
JPennant: Heh. Im finding that out
NY808: maybe you should chuck the prog and use another
JPennant: so yah.. Im downloading Photoshop 7 in the hopes that it has the batch funcytiojn I need
NY808: as a long time mac user, the mac fuckups eventually turned me towards pc life
NY808: as i was poorer too
NY808: owning a mac is expensive
JPennant: who you tellin :-/
NY808: heh, were i rich though, i would be mac-core
JPennant: I thought itd be nicer than this
NY808: you should have stuck to the pc
JPennant: If I had the space, Id load virtual PC on this and simply run IrfanView
NY808: can't you use someone elses pc to do it?
NY808: instead of sacrificing photos?
JPennant: Im too far in now. When you are on the road, gotta use watcha got.
NY808: well, if you get on that bus now, you can spend all your time fooling with the mac on the east coast
NY808: and we get to see photos sooner...hehe
JPennant: heh
NY808: ok, fine go to the west coast and do it
JPennant: Im gonna download Photoshop7 and give it one last try. If that dont work, thats what I'll do.
NY808: okay, i suppose if i see photos on your site, you would have suceeded
NY808: i need to get something to eat, i will see you later down the road jp
NY808: good luck with the pricey mac and don't spoil anymore photos.
NY808: bye bye
