Just to keep things interesting, Jeanne's laptop has decided to die. It looks like the video card has gotten cooked by the heat from the processor and has started going on and off. Soon it will croak entirely. We could take the laptop to a shop for repair, which would cost as much as a new laptop and would put Jeanne totally out of commission for a couple of weeks.
So we ordered a new laptop, and it's here. Next, get the data moved before the old laptop melts. I think I have that done now, after struggling with myriad problems. That's a big load off my mind. New copy of Office 2007 should arrive tomorrow. Load it, and we should be good.
It's been hilarious (if you know what I mean) working across two or three operating systems that don't like each other. Now all the PCs are on Windows 7, which I like.
I'm still searching for a good backup solution. We backup offsite every night, but the problem (it turns out) is getting the data back down over an unreliable Internet connection. Lots of timeouts. So I'm going to give it some more thought.
