My computer is ten years old. I love it and have upgraded it as much as possible, but every year it becomes more and more obsolete. I'm much in need of a newer computer that is compatible with current digital art software and internet technologies - my window to my fans. An updated system will also allow me to pursue film making and stop-motion animation. Additionally, I would like to purchase a good microphone and audio interface as these are essential for creating high quality narration and original music soundtracks for process videos, films and animations.
