Meanwhile, Not Very Good Thing is happening -- might just be in steps towards Wonderful New Miracle Computer, which would be A Good Thing. Am "upgrading". Actually, friend is getting gorgeous new hot-damn! hard-core, hubba, hubba type computers (Why do they all start with 'h'? Do you think it's something to do with gasps or excited exhalations?). Friend's ... umm ... [oh dear, some of us have complicated lives], well, another friend is getting his motherboard, groovy graphics card, etc., and I am getting the other friend's hardware, plus some new kit from recent computer markets. Most of it is sort of working.
Except.
The drive with all the photos (nearly 2,000) on it (and all my stored writings, etc.).
But DON'T PANIC.
There are a few backups, made in case of A Bad, Bad Thing [calm blue sea, calm blue sea, calm blue sea]. Also, drive itself shouldn't be damaged, just getting it all set up & recognised [deep breath; hold; breathe out]. (Remember, cars & TVs were probably (almost) as bad as this in their earlier days.) Am seding this from the new machine. Ain't life wonderful? [Got to tell myself that anyway, having recently had to make the choice life or not. (see Hamlet: Act 3, Scene 1 ; also www.self-injury.net/doyousi/quotes/quote.php?action=all) and http:// willowisp.blockstackers.com/index.pl?node=resume (from AgentIpso on Thu Dec 16 1999 at 23:48:35)]
