Re-starting the machines

shewhomustThe saga continues: when it came down to it, Morgan were perfectly amenable to replacing the non-functioning computer with one from which we hope for better things. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
durham_rambler has transferred as many programs as he can, and as many files as he remembers to, and I have taken possession.
My new new computer (Morgan II, I think) is black and shiny, and differs from all previous computers in a variety of small respects. The least subtle of these is that it has no floppy disk drive (the documentation imples that it has, but if so, we can't find it). It doesn't have the handy "back to desktop" button, but I have a two key workaround for that, which is already becoming automatic. I can't find Windows Explorer (andsamarcand, who found it for me last time, has gone on holiday). But it starts quickly and works quietly and I am perpetually optimistic.
I've already persuaded it to print out a document, upload some photos to Flickr, and downloaded from the server all the mail which arrived during the interregnum and which I didn't want to delete (about 500 items, since you ask). It keeps logging out of LJ, but I'm working on that, this post will be another first, and there's work to be done which will doubtless throw up some more. Excelsior!*
*Sorry,samarcand! It seems the only thing to say.
