Hey Dames,
I read your column every Thursday at work. I have been wonderin what happened to you. I was about to start a post askin what happened. I need my HOUSE EN~FEUGO or my THE STICK! catch phrases. My week just isn't complete without it.
As for your computer problems, why don't you just take the hard drive out of the old one, and hook it up as the slave harddrive on your new computer and transfer the files that way? If you have the power and info line, it should work fine. And you wouldn't have to worry about that old 266Mhz comp. But don't worry. I have a old Compaq with a processor that is a 33Mhz with 24MB of RAM that I just like to play on sometimes, though I got a 850Mhz one that I am on now. The old Compaq sucks ass, but hey...it will connect to the net.
