I think the migration is pretty much done and successful. As a reward to myself, I bought “Cookware Deluxe” and “Recipe Cleaner” from, wait for it folks, DigitalFried Chicken! Actually what happened was that I went to Versiontracker to look at something and there it was in today’s updates. Cool. Downloaded it and poked at the limited edition and said “what the heck?”
Perhaps it from hanging out on a bunch of restauranteur pages lately, but I have the urge to put my recipes in order. Right now they’re in a big binder, in a stack of newspaper pages, in a shelf of cookbooks etc. Let me hereby resolve that in the future I’ll put each recipe I use into this new system. I’ll comb my emails for the mailed versions and throw them in and throw the emails out. It’ll be a good thing. I’ll gather up recipes for my friends and family and be able to print out tidy copies of them or send them as compatible files.
This all goes with the idea that a new hard drive is like a fresh start on life. My life is complex enough that I just can’t start with an empty mailbox of course, but it does give you the opportunity to think – do I really use this software or that? How about we archive that on disk for awhile and see what happens? Oh yeah, let’s get the newer version of that once and for all. Where the heck is that original disk of software and the registration number.
So you see that new computers give you the chance for a cleaner start if you keep your wits about you and don’t give in to the whiney frustrated mind-set. And as a reward, might I suggest a new software that you’ve been hankering for?
PS Just a note to say that this morning I confirmed that all of the print drivers I needed were just in there – I plugged in the epson and there it was. Looked for the HP and there it was. It all works and it’s all good.
