shhhh nobody move

Somewhere in the last year my computer has gone from "creaky" to "outright old and cantankerous." A few days ago it decided it could no longer find the music in my iTunes library. Oh, I was waving my fists and screaming, let me tell you--half my music collection has been lovingly stolen from libraries all over the world. (what, you think I OWNED over seventy musicals? pffft.) Meaning, I don't have the original discs to re-download them. But, after a comprehensive survey, I discovered my music was on the computer, it just wasn't being recognised by iTunes. So I reintroduced the two, got iTunes talking to my library again, tried not to get depressed over the fact that I also lost all my playlists (sigh) and am now getting track names from the internets.

I am very concerned my computer might shut down at any moment and destroy the whole delicate procedure. So, shhh, no sudden movements.

Also, pray we make it to next April...I think I know who's getting my tax refund check next year: APPLE COMPUTERS INC.

Have you been backing up your computer to an external drive? I'm burdened with a similarly cantankerous laptop and lest I loose years of portfolio photos and hours of music...that little black box and I became fast friends.

The new ones are just lovely. Solid aluminum frame, fully integrated graphic processors, and fully integrated touch sensitive motions for easy access to advanced functions. They cost a small fortune, but it's worth every penny! Wow, I have become a mac nerd.
