It's gonna be cold!

Again a mass of Polar air is set to descend on us!  Temperatures should drop to the single digits and today we might get up to an inch of snow.

I've been working on a few things in addition to the regular stuff that gets done on a daily basis (laundry, food, cleaning..all that fun stuff).  The major thing is getting my iMac set up, again. I purchased it back in September 2012 - and played with it off an on for a while. It's different from a PC - that's why I got it. But several months ago I got really into it and was finally "getting it" when it started acting funky. Now Macs are rather stable but I had just upgraded to the new Mavericks OS X and so I thought it might be that. One thing I did do was BACK MY FILES UP! And boy, am I glad I did. After funky - it died. I took it back to Best Buy and they needed to send it out for repair. When it came back Mac had a new hard drive and audio card and just the basic system. Files and programs and upgrades were gone. However, the price was reasonable and that's what happens when you get a new hard drive. So, for the past two weeks I've been restoring files and programs. I also take notes and have gone back to my old notes (first time round). I've gotten iTunes done, figured out how to make changes in data on music and have more or less organized my music. Today I installed Neat Filing System software and got my files restored. So I feel good about my progress.

Outside it's gloomy and cold. We got about an inch of snow and again our snow is much less than friends in the South Jersey area got. Single digits are expected this week. And the cold is a good reason to stay inside and continue to do all things Mac :)
