A while back, travel problems used to be pretty straightforward. Lost luggage, perhaps, or an overbooked flight.
Today was the first time that I have flown on a plane without a laptop for five years. (My laptop died a few weeks ago.)
I didn't anticipate the havoc that would ensue. I am typing this on my father's Windows computer, basically glad to have been able to get to this space at all, having had to plough through multitudes of obstacles which have conspired against my doing so, not the least of which is that I forgot all my passwords (which were stored on my laptop.)
On an alien machine in an alien environment trying to get the word through as best I can.
I must admit to feeling as helpless as a kitten without my laptop.
I can't . . . bring . . . this . . . computer . . . to bed with me
Ha! Pure luxury! Try typing on an old Windows 98 computer with a Mexican-Spanish keyboard that is crawling with bugs.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it despite the travel woe. You just need a good friend in the area who can deliver a ready-to-go G5 to you the day you arrive. Viva Oakland!

ReplyDeleteHate typos. It's this damn Windows keyboard. And lost the post because I pushed "Alt - C" to copy, as is my Macintosh habit.
ReplyDeleteBlork, you're lucky you didn't get Chagas disease--that's exactly what those bugs look like. Probably have an affinity to Windows XP.
I have a G5 sitting on the floor next to me but I'm waiting for a 19" LCD that I ordered before I left. By the time I get it all set up, it'll be time to leave!
But my camera works, and I'll have lots of pics up soon. California is a foodie's paradise . . .
Thanks, Club V. A really nice guy delivered that G5 (the one I mentioned.) I might have to take him out to dinner.
