More frustrations

I drove to Best Buy on a cloudy day to see if I could get the "sled" that would allow me to transfer the contents of my old hard drive to my new computer.  The Apple tech told me it should only cost about $15 or 16, but it is actually $40!  I just can't see spending that much money for only one use, but I was told I could buy a crossover cable whereby I could transfer from the iMac to the MacbookPro (and vice versa), and he swore it cost about $6.  I don't believe these guys when they start quoting prices.  Best Buy doesn't have it in stock, but I could drive out to Fry's Electronics and pick it up, providing Fry's has it in stock.  

I've spent a couple of hours this afternoon moving data from one computer to the other via the little USB storage devices.  I found one that had relatively little on it, but it still didn't have enough space to hold my iPhoto collection.  I am using it however to copy and paste my music colletion in iTunes, but it's slow going.  Why wasn't I more careful with that damn glass of water that ruined my beloved old computer?  I don't like the newer software to tell the truth, and it is slightly different from the iMac to the new Macbook!  That's about 3 or 4 months!  The newer software would be great for couples who have their own computers, iPhones, iPads, etc., because it seems like the word of the year is "Sharing".  I don't know anyone who would want to share my files, especially my eclectic music collection.  I'm now listening to Ana Gabriel, who would be known to Mexican music enthusiasts!  But wait!  I also have some dynamite African (Senegal) music collections, Bluegrass, Classical, Grateful Dead, and a lot more.

I just looked out to see wet streets, but I hadn't realized it was raining.  The rest of the week looks like it should be sunny.  

Oh well, back to my file transfers.  My iMac is set up on the coffee table and the Macbook Pro is across the room on a little table by my recliner.  I'm running back and forth!
