Finally back...

November 8th, 2009 at 09:41 pm

My computer has been returned to me after about 5 weeks...

After:

...300 euro approx
...being taken to TWO repair shops
...getting a new Graphics card when there was nothing wrong with the old one...
...after getting a new Motherboard which is slower than the old one...
...after getting a new Operating System..
etc etc etc

Ah well... at least it's over now... although its performance is noticeably slower than before it was "fixed"...

I toyed with the idea of purchasing a new PC altogether for 500 to 600 euro...

BUT my plan is to plan a powerful MAC in approx 2 years time so I can use Final Cut Pro to edit short films....

Obviously I want to buy it with cash, I'll start saving for it when I'm debt free in January 2010.... so I just wanted my old computer patched up until I have enough cash saved to buy my Mighty Mac..

Oh.. and I finished my 7 weekend Introduction to Film-making course today... we finished editing today and have a short film !!

It's called Ada and Bob... It's about an old couple where the lady is unappreciated and she leaves in the end.... it wasn't my script idea.. personally I think it's a cliche BUT I learned an AWFUL lot making it...

I was in charge of Lighting... We will be getting DVD copies sent out to us in the near future... If someone could tell me how I could share it with people here who would like to see it, I would appreciate that...

Anyhow.. it's great to be back.. I hope you are keeping well !! :-)

    Welcome back! I have been a Mac user since 1985... love them. My current is a MacBook Pro w/ Intel processor. I do have a little PC netbook for traveling, but do not like it as much as I thought I would. It's good to wait until you can get what you really want.

    Welcome back! Great news about the film. Is it short enough to put on youtube? That would be the only suggestion I have.

    Welcome back! We're currently saving up to buy a new laptop with cash; even though our old one is misbehaving more and more each day, I'm glad we're going to wait until we can really afford it to get a replacement. I used $150 of my spending money to buy a little netbook, which is a good backup when our regular laptop is acting up, and it will serve well enough as our primary computer temporarily if our old lappie dies before we can buy a new one.

    Could you put your film on YouTube? It would be fun to see your creation. Smile
