Moving Sluggishly

I went to bed shortly after midnight but I think [livejournal.com profile] kent4str was up for quite some time following; even now he's still in bed recovering. [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr is off to the gym while I'm about to tackle the disk upgrade of my iMac.

The cloning of the internal disk to a spare USB disk took nearly 16 hours. I should be able to remove the old 60 GB disk shortly although I'll have to dig deeply into the innards of the machine to get to the drive. Restoring the data will probably take nearly as long as the original backup. Oy, this had better be worth it.

The new disk in my XP workstation is working beautifully, although it's taking longer than I thought to reload 180+ GB of the movies from the backup computer. Nothing to do but sit and wait though.

Outside of a brief grocery shopping expedition in the afternoon --presuming [livejournal.com profile] kent4str actually wakes up-- there is nothing else on the agenda.

HNY!

I guess you must believe in mixed marriages what with the Mac and PC, eh?

And the Linux box and the Solaris 10 box... It's not a marriage so much as a zoo..
