One of the smaller projects on my list this summer was to finally get the stranded files off my old computer’s hard drive. I’ve done this before and used the method where you open up your computer and physically connect the old hard drive to the new computer’s motherboard. Yikes! That’s so much work!
I figured that in this age of modern technology, there must be some kind of cable that could connect to an internal hard drive and plug in to a USB port. I googled it. It exists! And I found it at a place called Newegg.com, which my regular Expert Geek advisor, Lloyd, uses all the time. My only concern was that this particular cable wouldn’t be what I particularly needed. The description of this device uses a lot of terms I wasn’t sure I knew. I ordered it, hoping it would work.
It came in the mail yesterday and it works! I’ve transferred all the files from “My Documents” and from the Desktop. I’ve also transferred all the iTunes files. I just hope I can figure out how to access the songs on this new computer. In the meantime, the hard drive has gotten quite hot. I’ve put a little fan on it to keep it cool.
Where’s the little fan? Lauren will want to see a picture of the little fan. She loves fans.
It’s actually a small space heater that I’ve set for “fan”. Nothing special…
I do so love fans.
I’m proud of you, geek-in-training. And might I say, that desk looks super-clean!
just like the basement
I’m trying to download Norton Anti virus on my home computer. I took the whole day off just to do it. Thirty minutes into it, there are already errors, and why does McAfee care? LLLLLLOOOOYYYYYDDDDD!!!!!!
Soon your journey towards the dark side will be complete.
Do you all want to come to San Diego next year for Comic-Con?
I was just looking at some pictures from there.
I read some of the comments on that pic…and seriously, aside from the gigantic delegates, is she really that beautiful?
You are all welcome. Make a plan for next year! I’ll bring my friends, you bring yours. It would be SUPER FUN.
I don’t know how to tell hotness. But she is super confident to walk around in a skin tight body stocking.
Indeed. I admit, I envy that kind of confidence.
Nicely done, Brad!
Excellent job!! And how exciting to have our very own East Coast Computer
GeekGenius at our disposal !!(can you find me a magic cable that would transport all the stuff in my house to it’s rightful place. Thanks.)
