Still recovering from the iBook hard drive crash. Have recovered all the pictures, music and documents, but only 90% of the applications. Am working on finding my application disks for InDesigh 2.0 Toast 6.0 and filemaker 6.0 and 7.0; they are somewhere in the piles of CDs that have accumulated in various places; and what a pile it is.

In looking for the stuff on CD and DVD backups I discovered I have multiple copies of the same thing and I surprised myself by labeling over 60% of the disks with comprehensible information on the disks. A streak of efficiency that is surprising.

When the time comes I will restore Radio Userland and use that as the primary blog and return to this one as a supplementary one.

21st Century Setback

Not having a good technological year. First my Handspring went, then my first generation iPod went the way of all things first generation electronically. Following that my Sony disk player went along with the iPod and my iBook had a sudden hard drive crash. At least my mechnical pencil is still working.

As dumb luck would have it I did backup most of my stuff on the hard drive because I needed space on it to burn a DVD. I am not too sure about the applications, but I think I have all the serial numbers. What a pain.
