Well, now that it's almost over I can talk about my entertaining (?) day.
A couple of weeks ago I ordered a new computer, pretty much the one I've always wanted. It's a desktop PC, in a tower, and it has the latest, greatest components. I admit it's near the bottom of the latest, greatest, but it's still far beyond anything I've ever owned before. It arrived last Saturday, and '100 Years' has kept me so busy I didn't have time to even plug it in. When I finally did it refused to talk to the monitor. It turned out that it has two HDMI ports. One connects to the onboard graphics and the other, which I didn't notice at first, goes straight into the super-duper (bottom of the line) graphics card. Once I had the cable in the right port everything worked perfectly.
Friday I copied everything off the main drive of the older laptop onto my 3-TB hard drive, and yesterday I started copying everything onto the new PC. this morning I took a break and treated myself to a steak lunch at Sizzler. Then some more work. Then a nap. Tomorrow I have some last downloading to do, then wipe the old PC clean and scrub the desk and floor. Then everything will be set to go.
Then my sister called me, and that's always fun. A good day, if not exactly an exciting one.
