PC is up and running!

[erastes]

It's not enormously faster, but the flat screen is great, and it's Broadband suitable, but i can't afford that till after Christmas.  It also has a DVD player/burner. I won't a clue how that works.  At last I'll be able to put on DVD's that have special PC extras on. hurrah!

I have such a lot of transferring and downloading to do. Ick.  The trouble being that my OLD pc only has a floppy disc and no CD writer, and the NEW pc doesn't have a floppy disc.

hmmm....

so i'll have to do a lot of emailing.  Thank god for writely.com, that's all i can say.

Another place to get your Standish!

I wish I had something more interesting to say.  Dull Erastes.

I had the same issue when upgrading computers recently. I bought quite cheaply a flash drive (jump drive/key chain drive) and the transfer took mere minutes. Plus I've found it very useful subsequently.

Here's an example of one on Amazon.com (US$s) but I know I can find a reputable electronics clearance place locally and get a much better deal. No doubt you can, as well.

Oh thanks hun, but that's the trouble. the usb ports never worked on PC 1. probably something very very simple to fix, but I'm all alone and untekky.

grrrr.
