Hello again- Well, once again, time has flown by, and I've realized it's been quite a while since I posted. It's currently 2330 (11:30 PM) on a Thursday night, not normally a situation in which I'd still be typing on a computer. But, it's been SLOW this week at the bus company, and so I've had lots of time to pursue other interests. I've been busy all evening, backing up a new laptop here at the house; no, it's not mine. I helped a friend of mine acquire a good deal on a new laptop. Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary there.... until I tell you the friend is going to be 92 next month! She complained that her old computer wasn't doing the job anymore, and she felt she wanted a laptop. Can you imagine? I said, OK,let's go have a look at a few models. Well, she liked the 17" screens (portability isn't real important here), and so we landed up getting an HP dv9410us, a dual-core Turion, TL-56 processor, 1 GB of memory, 160 GB hard drive, all the other usual bells and whistles. Nice unit! Anyhow, I've been "streamlining" it for her, to make the transition to Vista as painless as I can. Now that all the modifications are done, I'm backing everything up. That's what's happening now, and it's time consuming. Which is why I'm still at it, as it approaches midnight. But the end is in sight, 98% of the mundane stuff is over.
Woo-hoo, it's finishing now, I'm outa here, good-night! She'll love this computer...
