Finally, my daughter needs me!
Suddenly I'm an expert again!
Finally. It’s been years and years and years
since my daughter (now 35) has asked me for help. But now...suddenly I’m
the expert again!
Mac expert.
She just made the transition from PC to Mac (tired of all those crashes, I guess). But now she needs help re-orienting herself to intelligent computer life. Like I told her, the biggest problems PC folk have in making the transition is they expect everything to be harder than it turns out to be!
I love it. I’ve suddenly shot up to the top of the “need to call” list. I knew I’d make it back up there one of these days...
Of course, since it’s a Mac, this new status will probably last about two weeks & she won’t need me any more. I better enjoy it while it lasts!

About The Author
My name is Georgia NeSmith. "Random Acts of Love" is my weblog, but I have numerous other websites you can link to through this blog. "Random Acts of Love" began in February, 2004, and I have been posting to it fairly steadily ever since, although there are a few months when illness and other issues have kept me away. I write about nearly everything under the sun. I also do a lot of photography and digital art and I teach journalism online. Recently I've also started posting videos to YouTube.
When I am not doing that, I am trouble-shooting Mac computer issues. Oh, yeah. I also do a lot of community activism. (Can anyone say ADD? I call it AEG -- "attention excess gift.")
I hope you enjoy reading what you find here, and that you will respond to the things you like (and argue with me over things you don't!). You can e-mail me directly from the "Feedback" link that is included with every post.
This weblog is provided free of charge. However, if you like what you read here and want to ensure that it stays online, you can make a donation through PayPal below. Or you can go to my giftshop at CafePress.com and purchase my greeting cards, post cards, pillows, mugs, and soon posters and prints.

You can also read samples of my creative work and see my photography and artwork on my creative website.

"The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while."

Sung by Billie Holiday
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
-- Margaret Mead
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all..."
-- Emily Dickinson
"In our sleep, pain, which we cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom, through the awful grace of God.
