Computers 1, susandennis 1.5

[susandennis]

I'm ahead, I think but not by much.

This morning I was on the tiny computer looking around the network for the books I ripped from Cd's a couple of weeks ago and could not find them.  Then I looked on one computer and then on the other one and then on the external harddrives.  And just before I was getting ready to restore backups, I remember where I put them...  On a never used external harddrive that I always forget about.

Then I took pictures of my chaise and went to eyefi them to the computer.  But I couldn't find the eyefi folder.  I found some old ones and then I found what must be the latest one but it had no uploads for nearly a week.  Checked Eye-Fi and discovered it wanted a firmware update.  Updated.  Then had to reset the 'save to computer' feature and finally, now, it is downloading all the photos from today and this past week.

These computers think I am just another pretty face.  Mostly they are correct.

Speaking of computers you have an eee machine dont you? Do you like it?

(and are you selling the chaise? I might be interested.)

I do have an eee machine and I don't know why. I think I wanted a small Linux machine to play with and learn from. If you are looking for a very cheap machine that is small and compact and don't have many application requirements - it's great. It's very easy to get online for surf and email - but the screen is small and the mouse buttons are a bitch. I got the very lowest end one.

And, yep, if Lee doesn't want it (I will find out today), my plan was to sell it on Craig's list but I'd happily forego that. If she doesn't want it and you can pick it up after Tuesday, I'll give it to you. Lemme know if you want and I'll go down and remove the ad I just put up on the bulletin board in the garage. All I ask is that if you for sure get it out of here by next weekend at the latest.

It's 64" long and 35" wide and here's the photo - Betty's not included, btw.

See I'm looking for a tiny tiny machine that will fit in my small bag and I think the eee machine would work. To be honest, I'm not thrilled with running linux again. Did you have to do much installation to make it work for browsing etc?

I'll talk to my girlfriend about the Chaisse . If Lee doesnt want it It's tempting.

Ok, so for what you are looking for the eee is perfect. It's about 2 pounds has very simple, small ac adapter and about 3 hours without. It comes totally internet ready. The only thing you have to do is click on the network icon and it will give you a list of availables. Could not be easier.

Betty not included? That takes the fun out of it.

As for original message, how did you rip books to CD? Audio books do you mean?

[susandennis]

Sorry, I misspoke. I took books on CD and ripped them to MP3.

Aha, makes more sense that way. I was trying to guess whether you meant ripping audio books or scanning (and maybe character-recognizing) print books. A friend with vision troubles has done the latter so she can read regular-print books in large-print format, displaying them on her large computer screen.
