I was using a PC running windows xp Professional since it came out, but my fossil PC STOPPED OPENING. To make thing worse my loving family put me into Assisted Living to enable them to steal my home including tools for working wood and metal [one was a Bailey 5 velocipede lathe...do a search it's was a beautiful Pine green with cream pin stripes]
My true dilemq is I BOUGHT A MAC 27" and photoshop is now leasing their products so l turned to Affinity, but since 2019 I have not gained an insite and by this have not made a single graphic. I would appreciate any help. I have purchased classes and the have not helped as l learned Photoshop from scratch exploring filter, the tool bar. The learning curve was staggering until l realized the key was to concentrate what l had learned NOT what there yet to learn.Within 90 days I was designing Utah High School State championship Programs that were comparable to sports illustrations cover designs except our digital press looked clearer than National Geographic.
The company, NewslettersInk had the account until our business was "Pretty Womaned" by a Nebraska jerk which forced my retirement. He sold all the presses, shears, and computers to someone in Brazil. Later l learn3ed mt ex traded the company, the client list in exchange to the debt she had created $4,500.000.Than god l gave my shares to her when l found out she was spending lines of credit like there was no tomorrow.
I worked every day on my own stuff and was happy as a lark until l lost everything. . .even my fossil PC and 4 Bookend Hard drives [my entire portfolio since 1996, the year l began.
Sorry for the rant but l wanted to share my situation
Thanx in advance to all my unknown friends,
