...the hair is from a little boy, and the cross is someone she has not met, not yet

Wheee! Thanks to Oldest Daughter Mary's laptop (that is now mine), I have internet access again until I can afford the Mac. Dialup, but it's access nonetheless.

Cable person comes tomorrow, to bestow high-speed internet for a notsomodest fee. I must find time to go and get a mouse (and a USB2 card; this is a slightly elderly laptop, 'tho not as elderly as my former POS computer). I will be able to do cool things once again (like read willysunny's lovely new fic. I haven't forgotten you, darling. Just been electronically deprived).

My problem now is I have very little music. I hope I'll be able to eventually cover my something like 1500 mp3s from my old HD, but I'm not holding my breath until someone can help me do this. Right now I have a CD I made at Mary's house on repeat loop (good stuffs on this thing).

Soo...all you people who use yousendit. Send me things! Stuff you know I like, stuff you THINK I'll like, stuff you like, anything! When I have my cable modem (hopefully tomorrow), I shall download like it was teh end of the world (as we know it).

I want to write a Hermione fic inspired by my Current Music. Whaddya think? Like I don't have seven thousand other things to finish.

When I have changed computers in the past, I have set the old and nes beside each other, and then plugged the old drive in on the long ribbon connector cord. (The ones I have had had ribbon cords with multiple connection plugs on them.) When you turn both machines on, the new machine is what runs your Windows and such, but you can access anything on the old drive. All you have to do is tell your computer to transfer files from whatever it calls the 'old' drive (probably E: or F: or something) to where you want them on the new drive, and WHOOSH, off she goes! It is very fast and easy (even though it sounds hard and complicated).

Does this work even when one machine's a laptop?

Sorry, I got out of the loop with the weekend and the Great Crash and all, and then a FIVE HOUR DRIVE yesterday to get Mike's braces serviced...argh.

Anyway...I don't know for sure, because I am not familiar with laptops. (I WISH I was....) What it depends on is if the plastic plug thingies match.

Do both machines have a USB port? I think you can also do it that way, except it takes longer.

Sorry I am not more help with this...hard to do when you can't see, y'know?
