I only own one computer and I have thought about getting a 2nd one. I do a lot of things online and it’s very important that I have access to my online things. I’m not good with computers and if I have problems with my computer now, I have to take it to someone that knows how to fix it. Our printer is even starting to show sign of wear and tear. We have been replacing our HP laser jet ink cartridges more frequently which may mean that the jets are getting dirty and this may cost more than a new printer. Now this can take a couple of days sometime and it really causes a lot of problems on my end, when I don’t have access to a computer on a daily basis.

I think having a computer I could take around with me would help out a lot. I’m sure that a laptop would help meet those needs. I really don’t have the room to set up another desktop computer, so if I got a new desktop computer, it would probably just stay in the box until I was ready to use it. I do need to have an emergency back up computer, I’m just not sure if I’m willing to pay the price for a nice one, or just find the cheapest one available. I don’t think I would get a used computer, because I would like to know that my back up computer would be brand new and would last me a long time. I have friends that have 2 computers or more in their households and it’s easy to see all the benefits of owning two computers.

Both my brothers are photographers, and I recently had the opportunity to see one at work. Not that I went with him to the shoot, but when he came home I was there to see him working with the photos.

The first thing I noticed is that he did not have endless wires between his camera and the computer, as he used to before. He simply removed the micro sd from his camera and popped it into the card slot of his computer. My computer is a bit older and does not have a slot like that, so that is something for me to remember when I next upgrade my computer.

Then he went to work on the photos. He has some interesting programs that are able to alter the photos to such an extent that you would never recognize the initial photo again when you look at the end product.

Makes me wonder whether all those very pretty people I see on-line really are so pretty or whether they have been digitally enhanced.
