What happens when Apple rules the world

As previously blogged, I received an iMac for Mothers day.  I have an iPad and and iPhone so imagined that an iMac was going to be quite easy to use.  ARGH - after using microsoft my whole life and everyday at work, its been really really hard to get the hang of how to use this blimen iMac. I am used to using shortcuts that can't be used with iMac and its just been a challenge.  I get to work and I use the mouse and it doesn't work and i realise its because I am trying to use it the iMac way - which is completely the opposite - scrolling the pages is like having to relearn everything all the time since I use both platforms every day (work and home).  Anyway rant over, I still love my iMac I just need to apply myself and read the manual and google how to work it.  Banging on the keyboard strongly and shaking my fist at the screen isn't helping me learn how to use it :-).

I have flexed my willpower muscle very strongly today and have not participate in the Mimco sale, I really really wanted this pictured bag - it was reduced from $349 to $139 www.mimco.com.au/Product/Sale_40/Bags_63/SOHO-COCOON_9089/index.aspx.j  The main reason I abstained was because I have this cocoon bag in dark red and in black sequin (indicating I do not need another Mimco cocoon bag lol) and I am not happy with how the dark red one is wearing - its only a year old and its very weathered and worn even though I have looked after it the same way I have every other Mimco bag I have had, and the metal ends of the drawstrings are all worn out already as well and look yuck.  The sequin bag leaves glitter over everything, which indicates that its not going to wear very well over the years either, both bags have been semi retired because of how worried I am about how they are ageing!  I have Mimco bags that I have had for ten years that look in better condition then they do, so I am not sure whats going on at Mimco at the moment but its put me off buying any bags for awhile.  Which is extremely good for me at this time of my life when I need to save save save!  I really want this Tilkah bag at the moment, but am not going to buy it, I'm not going to buy it, I'm not going to buy it:http://www.tilkah.com.au/catalogue/leather/solaris-sling-.
