Making a back-up of all the important files on my desktop. On Tuesday I'm installing Windows 7 on this PC, until then it's notebook only. Backing up takes a while, though I must say with an external HD is much easier and faster then in the days of having to burn cd's.

After backing up it's off to bed to watch the second half of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
Days of having to burn CDs?? What about the days of having to swap in and out multiple 3.5" hard "floppies"? Or even more of the 5.25" bendable floppies? I remember one install which required 60-ish of them.

I got my own PC when the floppies were slowly replaced by cd's. I remember the big bendable floppies from our Commodore 64. We still have two C64, it's been a while but I might just hook it up again to see if the games still work (my favorites: David's Midnight Magic Pinball and Son of the Blagger).

I saw another computer store that had a great PC on sale with more memory and an extra HD for less than the custom computer I had in mind at a local computer shop. It has a different graphic card so I need to do some research if it's about the same as the one I wanted. Hopefully they'll still have it (or an upgraded version for the same price) at the end of August/early September. I only have to mail them to ask if the the casing doesn't light up like a Christmas tree.

It's more of a guttural 'g' instead of a 'j'. The guy on Google Translate is Dutch, which is slightly different from Flemish.

Well, it turns out we all survived the first night. I seperated them, little kitten in my study with a blankee and some sort of cave (leftover from an old scratching pole) and Sushi in the living room where he likes to sleep. The study is right next to my bedroom, but he stayed pretty quiet throughout the night. Woke me up once at 5AM, but that's all. This morning he started complaining really loudly at 7AM, so I got up and gave him some cuddles and a little food

I think I'll repeat this tonight and whenever I'm out of the house.

Next up is the vet at 11AM.

Well, I do have another one I took just now. She's so tiny!

Right now they're taking it in turns to follow each other around

We went from old Macs to PCs when W95 had one boot floppy and a cd to install, and I'm really glad! I can remember when we got our first Mac, the Apple Mackintosh SE, it came with a couple of lessons on how to use the thing. They actually came to your house a couple of times for that!

I'm now searching for a quick and easy (and cheap) read to take a break from James Clavell's Shogun. I haven't got a clue what I'm in the mood for so that makes the search somewhat difficult.
