[QUOTE="gtirr, post: 1205398, member: 190547"] First of all let me say that the best thing about owning a Mac has been this forum!!! Everybody has been just great! And you have all been a big help too. My issue with iPhoto is that it won't let me store my photos like my pc will do. All I want to do is to be able to sort through all my 7000+ photos of trains, scenery photos, and my model RR photos. Nothing fancy, just store the photos and allow me to e-mail them when I want to. I have a friend who is coming out today from Chicago who is a die-hard Mac person and he tells me that when I see how easy it is to do what I want to do, I will poop!!!! And he does NOT use iPhoto at all except to d/l photos from a SD card into his Mac. But if this is true why have the folks at the Apple store been trying to teach me all about iPhoto and nothing else? I've told them several times when I go to one of the 1 on 1 classes what I want to do and they still insist on doing it with iPhoto....??? My other problem has been not being able to connect with the Internet and AT&T and the folks at 2-Wire have tried to help, but all have told me that my modem/router is one of the older "G" types of wireless modems and the Mac's like the newer "N" models....? I have tried changing the speed and channels and right now it is set as fast as it will go and I still have problems. My MBP is only about 20' from the modem/router. But when I connect my old PC everything works fine with the speed dialed back to about 30% less. This setting also helps my modem power supply run a little cooler too. Don't get me wrong, I love this new MBP, but it's way more computer than what I need to do what I want to do. It's a shame that I can't use it as you folks do because then I would realize the beauty that lies within. Does this make any sense? I haven't totally given up yet as I don't like to admit defeat.... So I'm still trying and hoping I can find a solution so I can make this beautiful machine live with me. Thanks again to everyone for all your help!!! Russ [/QUOTE]
