I just met a genius.

About a month ago I decided to convert. No, not that kind of conversion, I meant the PC to MAC kind. I walked into one of those enticing Apple stores and just like someone who has no worries, I pointed and said: "I'll take that and that and one of those and that. Add it up, here's my card." I was about to find out how the other half lived. No more viruses, no more crashing, fun icons, cute sounds and best of all, I get to be an Apple snob.
Then my troubles started. The computers wouldn't talk to each other, one wouldn't print while the other wouldn't work the same software, one wouldn't work with the router and the other wouldn't work without it.
First I tried all my geek friends. They came and went, nothing changed. Next I went out and bought new routers, wires, software, thinking that maybe if I spent enough money my computers would pity me and stop behaving badly. Nope, that didn't work. I called the Geek Squad and four other computer wizard companies, told them my sob story and never heard back. What kind of a snob was I now???
On Friday I thought I'd give it one more try. I called a company I found on Google and THE guy came today at 3 PM. Two hours later everything worked. Everything! I just met a genius!
So, in honor of my working computers and to celebrate the beginning of my new life on an IMac, here is a little color inspiration (scanned on my working scanner!).

Don't tell me this! I'm switching to a Mac next week!
