You would think that after the previous post here, I'd have been a bit more concerned about getting newer content up here in blog world. That was the intention, at least. As it stands, however, I'm bogged down in a technological sewage dump and can't get out.
Without getting all Geek-Squad on you, I installed an older operating system on my beloved G4 Powerbook (which is five years old this fall) because the newest Mac OS has been frustratingly slow on it...and I can't run my recording software on it. I got the old system (Tiger) installed fine. Protools works great. But nothing else does. Not Word, not iTunes, nothing. I may have even shut down the internet for about thirty seconds last Friday. Did you feel it?
So, all weekend I've been trying to figure out how to import (or even find) my contacts and emails AND since none of the updated apps work I have to reinstall the original versions of them--iTunes, iPhoto, Office, Protools, BLAHBLAHBLAH. On top of that, I'm trying to delete about 40 gigs worth of info.
Sitting me down at the helm of this is like putting a monkey in a scrap yard with an acetylene torch and expecting the Eiffel Tower in 3 hours. In that three hours, all you'll get is a broken torch with monkey poop smeared across the tank.
Let's just say this is taking a little more time than expected.
