Spent the whole morning trying to get the computer started. It’s definitely straining under the weight of the four external hard drives. Sometimes three hard drives mount, sometimes all four. And, I can’t figure out why. I think our Mac has been brilliant over the past six years. It’s an outstanding Power Mac g4. But, it’s time to upgrade. PJ and I decided that I would go into the bank on Tuesday and try to get a loan for a new computer.
We finally got the computer up an running (albeit, hard drive Bruce wouldn’t start at all). So, we decided to back up all of the projects onto Angelica. Because she’s a USB hard drive, this took three hours. After all of this technical hell, I just didn’t have the will to carry on with editing. I feel terribly guilty.
The new direction is going well, though, so I’m happy about that.
