Computer situation

[pegkerr]

In transition. Once again, I am without e-mail. I still do not have my bookmarks. I do not have my music loaded. I do not have my Quicken loaded. I do not have my Word or Excel files loaded. The house has been wired for cable, but the wireless card can't seem to pluck the signal from the air, so it keeps telling me it can't find the server. And since Rob had to pull apart his office so that the cable guy could get back to the corner of the room where he thought the cable access was, the contents of his office are scattered all over the downstairs.

I have not yet made friends with the mouse or the keyboard; in fact, there seems to be a high mutual level of distrust. In other words, I'm not using it for anything yet (I'm typing this on the laptop).

But, um, it sure is pretty.

Peg, any USB keyboard and mouse will work on your iMac. If you want just migrate the old ones over.

Once you make friends with the keyboard, the mouse should tag along behind it like Peter Pettigrew with the Marauders.

A little evil, yet everpresent?

Ugh. My sympathies.

It's always hard to get transitioned over to a new computer. It's like trying to go on a blind date or something.

Do you need Microsoft Office? I have an older copy which works fine on my new iBook. I wrote the phishing book in it; Wiley's macros seemed to do what they were supposed to.

Thanks, but I got a copy when I got the computer.

This looks like a good apportunity to mention del.icio.us. You can turn off the 'social' aspect of it, unfortunately that's an all or nothing prospect, but what it provides me is a computer independant bookmarks list. :-)
