@Melissa: I suppose you have a point there… That iPhoto is given away (”included”) on new hardware purchases — I’d forgotten about that little detail.

Enjoy your new Mac! (And thanks for stoppin’ in here.)

As a new Mac user who has only used Windows Explorer to catalog photos, this is pretty interesting to read, even though I don’t understand every detail. I’m way more of an amateur photographer than you!

I guess Mac gives away iPhoto now because mine came with it already installed. I haven’t used it yet but I’m looking forward to playing with it and seeing how it can handle all my photos and images.

@Erin: hehe… I guess part of my problem (update to follow) is that I wound up flat-out KEEPING so many photos. If it didn’t get deleted “in camera” then it got dumped to iPhoto and stayed there. I’m really going to need to break myself of that habit — RAW images from the XTI are easily five times larger (on average) than the JPGs we’d been getting from the SD630. I might wind up burning DVDs of rejects… A bunch of different strategies on the table right now but the issue remains the same: how can I keep all the best plus a lot of the “good” shots without burning up the entire drive?

storage is cheap but it ain’t THAT cheap…

I’m sort of an Aperture “rebel” and still use a lot of my same iphoto habits i.e. I don’t keep everything and simply reject it. I delete the ugly stuff and only keep the really good images. And being able to shoot in raw and edit so minutely has saved me on countless occasions of “oops!” photography. Glad you’ve liked what you’ve tried so far!

Comment on Burlington Telecom by found_drama

@Sparky: the package we had with Comcast was specifically throttled down to what amounted to something barely better than dial-up. The only way to get decent speed from Comcast was to pay through the nose or else get it bundled with a cable package. As a TV-less household, the latter does us no good. I’m more satisfied with my Burlington Telecom connection than I have been with any previous provider.

You might want to look at speedtest.net. Check out the actual average speeds for Burlington. Comcast is actually well over 2x avg download over BT (8.8mbps vs. 3.5); BT nearly 2x upload but surely you understand that that is nearly meaningless for typical everyday use. Remember, these are actual tested speeds.
