Dammit

Frustration with my work computer today.

I'm trying to download the pictures on my crappy old digital camera. The software included doesn't work on this OS (Windows NT), so I called the help desk and they suggested just plugging it into the console--the computer would "sense" the camera and there would be a whole new drive. Well, that ain't happening. I can't access the pictures on my new laptop either--the camera uses a parallel port cord thingy and I need a USB. DAMN. All I want are these stupid pictures and I promise I won't use the damn camera again!

Does anyone have an old (light) monitor I can borrow for a day, just so I can access my old hard drive and download these pictures? (And so I can access the other stuff on my hard drive)

Also, I'm trying to re-read Eternity and I can't open. MS Word keeps freezing or slowing waaaay down, or syaing "Not enough memory." Very frustrating. It's a bloody word document; it shouldn't be slowing things down like this.

I can bring my external drive enclosure thingummy - you put your hard drive in it, and then you can connect it to another computer through USB.

I can come by any night, I imagine, to do that for you. When's a good time?

How about next week sometime? This week is kind of tight--I have relatives in town--but next week should be good. Say, Tuesday or Wednesday?

Next week is cool (the Republicans scare me anyway). Just zero in on a day and time and I'll be there.

The word document is sort of large- it should have imbedded fonts. I can send you a plain-text or pdf one tonight, if you'd like.

If you could, that'd be great.

Can you send me a copy, too? Word format is fine. In fact, you can send it to my brand new gmail account. jayspec -at- gmail -dot- com.
