(1) iMac
This baby is incredible. I chose to upgrade to the 3.33 GHz and 8 GB memory and…wow. On my MacBook, I could only have one Adobe CS4 program open with no other applications open at the same time. Yesterday, I had Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, iTunes, Google Chrome, and Word, and everything was just as smooth.
(2) Lynda.com
I love this website. They have tutorials on almost every software one could imagine, and have everything I need to learn Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks, and sharpen my skills in Photoshop, inDesign, and Illustrator. They have a basic subscription for around $25/month, which I think is just fine, but if you’d like to have all the exercise files they use in the tutorials there is an upgrade for that.
Needless to say, with all these new toys I’m having a tough time keeping my concentration on my Europe in the Era of WW2 class term paper (on French memory of the Occupation).
Toodles,
Reb
