I bought a new (used) MAC on Thursday. I’ve been putting it off for quite a while. My old system is a G4 circa 2001. That is a dinosaur in technological terms. I hate upgrading my system. I hate upgrading software, but most of all I really don’t want to deal with the hassle of making the new system function as closely as possible to the old system.<\/p>\n

The guy in the store said this would be no problem. Since both old G4 and new iMAC are both running OSX (different versions) all I had to do was transfer my data files at initial start-up the iMAC. Easy peasy. All I’d need was a Firewire cable. So I purchased the Firewire cable and came home with my new iMAC in a box all ready for a smooth transition. Yeah right.<\/p>\n

Seems the version of G4 I own won’t play nice when being booted in Firewire mode. So I spent an few hours doing internet searches trying to find the fix. No luck. First thing after business began on Friday, I called up the store and told them the issue and asked them how to work around it. They never heard of such a thing and told me I could either a. bring both systems in and they would do it for a fee or b. forget about it and start fresh. Very helpful. NOT!<\/p>\n

So I made a profile and got the iMAC booted up. Seems that in Firewire mode the only drive on the G4 that will register is NOT the start up drive, but the one I have been using as a scratch disk and it is EMPTY. I cannot access the data on the start-up drive in Firewire mode, so that was not going to work. Next option. Reinstall all software and transfer the preferences via file sharing.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, this is a time consuming and not at all straightforward process. So it’s taking me days to accomplish. I am pretty sure if I had a higher tolerance for frustration, I’d be done sooner, but I can only take so much aggravation at a time before I have to go do something else. Like scrubbing the bathtub or filing the mounds of paperwork I can never seem to stay ahead of!<\/p>\n

One of the peripherals that will not funtion with the iMAC is my trusty scanner. Microtek just hasn’t seen a need to add drivers since OSX v 10.4.x new system is running on 10.5.8. Scanner don’t want to play nice with iMAC. *sigh*<\/p>\n

I have managed a work-around by installing the scanner drivers onto my trusty little Notepad. It’s a PC so getting the scans from it onto the MAC will be a hassle. But until I can save up for a replacement scanner, it will have to do. There are other more pressing projects requiring money than a new scanner. Especially since the old one works just fine. Shame on you Microtek.<\/p>\n

Of course, this snag meant the scans of the creature for the day has been somewhat delayed. So without further ado here are the creatures from Friday thru today.<\/p>\n

Some of these are kind of Seuss like.<\/p>\n

Back to transferring the old onto the new. Hopefully I will be done with it today, so I can get back to work on real art. \ud83d\ude00 Ta!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
