Who Even Knew?


(A picture I took with my macbook about 14 minutes after I got it)

So about three months ago, I moved into my new condo with my hilar roommate Kate Etienne. Around then, my trusty Dell Laptop started showing the preliminary signs of failure. The odd power outage, loss of files, etc.

The straw which ended up being the last, was when le computaire (is that french at all??) couldn't stay on for more than ten minutes at a time (and that's with a POWER CORD people!!!, no cord=0% power.)

So I did it...well my Dad did it. I asked for a Macbook, or at least money towards, it for the day of Jesus' birth and my dad earned quite a few Dad Points. He went that extra mile passing Macbook Land and arrived in... Macbook PRO-ville.

Ok, so Christmas is over. I brought my Macbook Pro home and slowly started making the emotional PC to Mac switch. The switch was short lived because the second I started, I realized I DON'T KNOW HOW THE $*%! to get all my special files over to this son'abitch. So like most straight males, I don't ask. I try to figure it out.

Different options I came up with:
  • USB Key: Too small
  • Hooking up the two computers by an ethernet cord. (I know that any computer nerds who are reading this are laughing hysterically at that one...seeing as the only thing that comes out of it, is having two of your computers physically attached.)
  • Another USB Key: Also too small
  • I give up.
  • I try the same two USB Key's thinking that Merlin had come and magically given me space. Nothin'.
  • I give up again
  • I finally decide to google, and folks...you know what??!!!?
As I am typing this blog entry,my two computers are making sweet sweet love to give birth to the a brand new SUPER COMPUTER.

Well there you have it, I've learned a little sumthin sumthin' and I feel quite good about it.

I'm Out.

I leave you with some Re-written Celine:

"All by myself.
I fixed it all....
All by myself.
PAIN NO MORRRRRRRE"


Keep living, Keep breathing. Breath in the negative, live out the positive. And everything will be.
