how could anything go wrong?

Well, darn it. My computer is playing up again, not backing up to the right device, and refusing to notice when a thumb drive is plugged in. Also taking about five minutes to start up. So tomorrow it is going back to the Apple Hospital, and if last time is any indication, it'll be there about a week.

WOE.

I have options, of course. I have other computers. The old Mac is still reliable and splendid, but it doesn't get connected to the internet these days because it is so out of date. (Which is why I can use Photoshop etc on it and do recordings and play some elderly games.) The laptop will probably do for internet stuff. But email is going to be tedious.

Worst of all, I am participating in the pod_together challenge, and have recorded a story, using the software on the old Mac. Trying to transfer it to this one is how I discovered the problem. There should be some kind of horribly convoluted solution, but GAHHHH!

In better news, it rained quite hard today!
