G GROG Grand Member (1 year) Tujunga Joined: Jun 21, 2006 Posts: 7548	G GROG Posted posted on Wed, Aug 3, 2011 8:35 PM Crayons would be a lot better than this fking PC shit they gave GROG to work on. Today was a crappy-assed day, as you can tell. The keys are different compared to the Mac, and spent half the time trying to figure out how to get the stupid machine to do what I want. Felt good about the drawings, but got screwed up SO many times by the stupid machine. Technology . FK IT! GROG still doesn't know enough about Photoshop to to be as fast as GROG need to be for this damned job. Be unemployed again next week probably. Now gotta go to GROG' other job-- cleaning damned Ape mugs.

T tigertail777 Member Oregon Joined: Nov 25, 2004 Posts: 679	T tigertail777 Posted posted on Thu, Aug 4, 2011 9:30 PM LOL Grog, I feel kinda the same way about Macs. I use a PC at home for graphic design and stuff, I am sure I probably don't know as much as you but I am willing to try and help if you need it. I know the difference between Macs and PC's is pretty confusing. Hope things go better for you tomorrow. :)
