I’m not reading these comments, of course, but just wanted to mention the tech guy at work told me (he was sitting in front of my PC, fixing it at the time) that cheap USB memory sticks tend to malfunction. And that I ought to throw away that diskette.

I have discovered a new kind of technological worry. When you have a large 13 year old in the house who is a little clumsy do to growing 2 or 3 inches n the last year, and he leaves your laptop on the living room floor after using it, and accidentally steps on it, he can break the LCD screen.

It’s kind of interesting, the glass (or maybe it’s plastic) screen has cracked in several places, but it still works exept for a few black blotches. But if you move the computer you can see it flexing where the cracks are and it makes little waves in the screen, they really ARE “liquuid” crystal displays.. Amazing.

Not quite so amazing that I am happy to spend what I’m sure will be 80% of the cost of the whole computer to replace the LCD screen..

Ah yes, the big decision to switch from floppy to USB. I’m still harboring regret at not getting a floppy drive in my new laptop, and must make the transition of all the info on one computer onto another plus backup. Creativity shouldn’t be so technological, should it…

If you take tha bad disk to a computer store staffed by geeks and promise to buy something from them next time you need a USB memory stick or something, I bet they’d take it as an interesting challenge to read your disk and make a fresh copy to your memory stick. Just hope it isn’t your forgotten collection of something quite embarrassing.

But you aren’t reading this because you’re on a fast.
