Well, it's been so long that I almost feel the need to introduce myself... my computer suffered a terminal motherboard problem, rendering all of my USB ports useless... so no photos can come off of my camera.

It has been unbelievably hard, not having the ability to develop photos and post them. I appeased myself by voraciously watching and commenting on all of your posts... thanks for keeping me sane!

I took delivery of my brand new system yesterday. I had the equipment I needed to transfer my data and programs.... but it isn't working. So still, no photos.

In a desperate attempt to feel like part of the PB community, not just a browser, I took a shot of the new gear... with my phone.

Hopefully I will have something better soon, but for now, this is it.

I like it and I am tremendously glad that you kept looking at what we posted and reamined a Superior Encouragment to me. I am glad to call you friend. karmankwarner · 2011-01-13: 18:09
