Old Friends and Good Times . . .

I spent most of today trying to transfer several terabytes of data from my old computer over to my new one.

I had originally planned to use my 4TB Portable External HD to just transfer it all over at once. But the old computer will no longer recognize the drive. However the new computer has no problems with it, so it’s not the drive.

So I’m reduced to moving the data over 128GB at a time on a flashdrive. Slowly but surely.

Jan had her former coworker get-together this evening at King Food. Every year they have it at a different restaurant, or occasionally at someone’s home.

Last year it was at Delta Blues BBQ and next year it will be at La Brisa Mexican Restaurant.

Again, what part of paper and pencil don’t they understand?
