Zzzz......

Migrating to a new computer shouldn't be this hard. I've spent the last two days backing up files, re-installing software on the new computer, and trying to transfer files using Windows "Easy" Transfer. Yes, I put "easy" in quotes on purpose. Still not finished. All I really want to do is take the new machine to the coffee house tomorrow and work on writing. Simple enough, right?

You'd think.

Oh, for the old days when the old computer simply crashed and burned and in desperation we ran out and got the new one at a ridiculously high price and started over. There are certain good things to be said about doing it that way. Sustainability, schmustainability, right?

Naw, I really rather not lose my files and start over, and it's amazing that: a) I paid about a quarter for the new machine of what I paid for the old, and the new has more RAM and stuff, and b) even more amazing that the old one is still kicking along quite nicely, but is just rather huge and heavy.

And yet ... I'm still weary of this boring task. I suppose I should be grateful. Really, I am.
