ooohh- technology!

We are in Texas. Got here early Sunday morning, and the breakfast at Denny's almost made it worth getting up at 4:15. Not quite, but close.
Yesterday my father kindly agreed to drive out here to Mesquite (about 35-40 minutes from his place in Irving) to deliver our gift to my M-I-L. A new computer! and monitor! and printer! [Dad kindly agreed to purchase the set down here on Black Friday and we paid him back so that we wouldn't have to ship the darn things from Ohio.] Last night hubby, father & I spent 90 minutes trying to get MIL's firefox profile and her saved pictures off the old computer. Couldn't do it. Wouldn't recognize USB port (even after downloading 3 drivers it claimed it needed), downloaded 4 CD burning programs only to have the 1 that worked on that ancient system claim "no media installed" in the drive. Today hubby & I got it up and running. Tomorrow father will come over again and we'll try to network the systems to get her stuff moved over. She's so tickled at the modern system she doesn't care if she has to start over. She just leapfrogged from WindowsME to Windows7 (64bit). From a 10Gb harddrive to a 320GB. From 128mb ram to 3Gb. and from a cruddy old tube monitor to a 18.5" widescreen lcd.
Hubby went through and created multiple users- us and MIL as administrators, niece, nephew, and hub's baby sister as users. All 3 user accounts have parental controls turned on. Ha ha.
eeek, it's late. must get children to bed. we suck at bedtimes while down here. when you factor in the timezone change it's even worse. ooops!
