I fell asleep watching TV last night, and was consequently wide awake at 1:30 a.m. I hate when that happens.

I found out that Comedy Central doesn't bleep its comedians in the middle of the night. Also, Dane Cook is quite vulgar.

ami_1 came for a visit this afternoon, bearing a 'new' Mac G5 that coyotegrrrl18 had procured for me. Squee!




We then had lunch at the Tavern, which was lovely. Both of us were undecided between the burger and the reuben, so we got one of each and split them. Yum.




I got my G5 set up, then couldn't figure out how to open the disc drive, so I called B and we figured it out. My keyboard isn't a Mac one, so we tried all the function keys until one worked. I got my internet software installed (and the Nikon as well), and I'm good to go. Whee!

So now I'm tweaking and playing with my new toy. :D

Thanks, guys! <3

When all else fails with a Mac and a stuck disc, reboot. Usually it will eject anything inside on shut down and you can grab it then. :)

My husband was home alone with our new Mac mini and was so embarrassed to call me at work to ask how to eject a disc! ;) contests on the " new " computer! Every mac I have ever owned still runs! They either became woefully outdated, I could no longer get software updates, or the power cord jack went. They may get outpaced by new technology but they are built to last!

There wasnt' a disc in there; I couldn't figure out how to open it to insert one. There's no little button like on the G4. Turns out the solution is the F12 key. :)

Odd, I haven't had a Mac that didn't slot load in 15 years. I didn't know they made them still. Up there it should have been congrats not contests damned spell check!

This one isn't new, just new to me. :)

Love your cover photo here--so cool!

And yeah, "Frost heaves" signs always make me laugh.

Thanks! :)

It's that time of year. The potholes are multiplying like bunnies...

I love the frost picture. And my brain is busy percolating on the weirdness of "frost heaves." What, Jack Frost after a few too many?

LOL! Actually, it's when pavement literally heaves up from freezing.
