Migrating

It's now nearly 3 months I've brought back the used Powerbook G4 and now is the time to do a serious move before work overflows. It is tempting and exciting and frightening. I have had this laptop for more than 2 years now - I shall pass it on to neverbeenkissed. And I will move to Mac.

Burn files
- emails totalling >30G
- edited videos >20G

Most docs I can burn onto CD/DVD but these need to be analysed - so I decided to find myself a free online storage. I am writing this blog as I await the upload of madanimator's files to myotherdrive.com
as a reminder, i have logged in with the family optus account

it's very very slow

20 June, Friday
Have abandoned myotherdrive.com - also realised I've signed into something known as scribd which is a file-sharing thing for Office wares, esp Powerpoint. Would be good for dad but he probably doesn't like things online. Definitely not a blogger he.

This week's special at Target was 100discs of Gold label DVD for $29.99. I was one of the first to be in the store yesterday. Got into my head that the best thing is -R. Went home and tried it on laptop. It kept spinning. Very unhappy. Returned it to store even though I had removed the plastic. They took it back after I insisted I didnt write on it. Swop it for +R. So now I know. My laptop burns (and reads) TDK +R. Burnt 10G of data. Deleted these on hard drive. Somehow these deleted files disappear from the recycle bin. CCleaner only managed to clean 700mb... really wondering.

Next step the email from Pegasus. Yaiiii! Very difficult to print and save as PDFs... I think I will have to do a hatch job for the moment. Tried to download ABC Amber's Pegasus Mail converter. With Firefox, it keeps leading me to this Russian site, Beatles Forever. Very annoying. I am sure it's Firefox.

Downloaded zippy Off By One Browser. Bang! Got into the site. Downloaded the trial version of ABC Amber. Good for 10 messages. But heh...

Must remember to bring Off By One Browser to the very old laptop and play with it.

Now there's mail conversion to be done.
