Yours truly, techno-dunce extraordinaire, did something mighty damn impressive yesterday. All by herself no less. . .

I am giving my little brother my old laptop and wanted to transfer all my old files off it, but it doesn't have a cd burner and there was 40 Megs worth of info to transfer. I pondered the options.

After realizing I didn't have the right cords to do a direct cable connection, I decided that I would attempt an infrared transmission. But first, I had to set up the infrared account thingies on both computers, set them next to one another and get them to talk.

It worked!!! All 40 Megs transferred successfully to the new machine. I am just so damn impressed at accomplishing that feat without having to call for help. Please excuse me while I wallow in the self-satisfaction...
