Thermalgal’s Temperate Mumblings

Is it only Saturday?

Not much happened yesterday. We spent most of the day fiddling with our new computers. I got the DirecTv DVR service activated (yeah!) and we went shopping. The stores were all a mad house. We went out to get whole milk and heavy cream to make ice cream in the new machine… three hours later we came home. We also went to a bunch of other stores. I bought new gloss 4×6 paper for new printer. I used one of from the sample pack to print a picture and wow! It looks almost as good as a reprint from the store. I also got the Ott clip lite! Yeah! I spent the remainer of the evening working on more Christmas presents while DH fiddles with his new table saw. It was actually a present from last year but he just got one of the barns cleared to use as a workshop so it was sitting on the porch still in its packaging.Today I clean up my old computer and have it on my new computer. Not an easy task getting infor from my iMac to an XP box. They got rid of Appletalk on XP so I had to copy everything to a zip disk and then copy to the new computer… and I only have one zip drive. Next up… learning how to use my new CD-R to archive the iMac stuff. I’m also going to install my new DirecTv dish. I had to upgrade to get the full capabilities of the DVR so I got a three LNB on Ebay for a good price. Too bad it didn’t come with all the screws, so back to the hardware store I go.
