Computer Drama...Part III
*Sigh* can't believe I'm writing a part III to this dumb saga, but alas I am! I stopped by Radio Shack on my way home from school today to pick up the dumb fire wire cord. The guy gave it to me and I was a bit skeptical because it came from a completely different part of the store then when the guy showed me yesterday where they should be but weren't because they were sold out. I told him this was the 3rd day in a row I had been in and was he certain this is what I needed - he said yes and I happily bought it and left. Get home eager to try it and guess what - yep - it didn't fit. Not sure how it works but apparently what I bought is supposed to attach to the USB cord? It didn't seam like what the guy yesterday or Mark told me I needed, so back I go tomorrow - 4th day in a row...hope it's the last.
I did however get a bit of good luck in the middle of this bleak time (haha!). I finally found a Cori's Photos CD but (more bad luck) it didn't include the photos I needed! So my final option was to re-hookup the old computer 'boxes' and get the photos that way. We have 2 computers in our den and recently replaced both...so I had a 50/50 chance of grabbing the right computer and guess what - yep I picked the wrong one first! After that I was starting to get frustrated (normal I know for me) and was down to my last option...the final computer. I hooked it up and the pictures were there! I have never been so happy in my life!! Not only were the pictures there I was able to upload them to a CD by myself!! Oh I also successfully took apart the 'good' computer and re-hooked-up the 'bad' computers all by myself without breaking anything and the 'good' one is working again! So I now have all the pictures that I have custody of uploaded and ready to go. Brandi has a couple more cameras worth of photos in her custody before we're down with the photos. Then all we have to tackle is the video portion!
Hopefully tomorrow I can get the video to work! Brandi & I are going to work on it after she is done working tomorrow evening! It's already December 1st and we're running out of time to get this printed!
