Still working along on the older machine. And getting some progress. It's snowing. I made a run after some cat food, and a guy at the grocery just blithely flings his car door wide just as I pull into the next space. Fortunately I have good reaction time, and didn't...

...and for the first time in well over 10 years, I am going to have to mail the machine in. So I will be five days without my main computer. Argh! The good news is that I have a pretty good fallback---my old Latitude is still viable, and after being plugged in and...
