Technology is like a cat... purrs right along until it suddenly sinks its fangs into your thigh

Well, today with the help of kor27 we finally set up my new computer. The big problem, of course is how to get all lour old data to the new box. He set up a sort of bridge that was working until he left to get some sleep, then immediately failed. Most of what's on the old disk is replacable, but most of the C drive is our entire music collection.

Yeah.

I think that we're going to let him sleep for about 16 hours, then send him a message. Help!

In the middle of this, we went out to Chili's for lunch. I have been craving this food for months, and decided to hell with decorum, I was going without dentures. Queso has never tasted so good, I devored my steak (in tiny pieces) and gummed my way through my fries. A very large beer helped. Great food, and I don't think I've eaten that much in one sitting in well over a year. Before, during and after the computer and queso epic, Kiri and I started tackling the living room. We've struck floor in several places!

Food coma is hitting. I think I'm going to defer writing in favor od downloading things to the new box.

My condolences on the loss of the old drive. If I can loan you any adaptors kor27 might require, just ask.

If your budget will stretch that far, I'd strongly recommend getting an external drive as a backup for important data. I've had enough drive failures that I now keep multiple backups for the important data.
