Oy. The cleanup
Apr. 19th, 2011 01:38 pmI have, for years, stored email messages with 'important stuff' on them in my Outlook program. It was the easiest way for me to re-find whatever the info was. (Such as a message on the Medieval List saying, "Here is a link to the abridged English translation of "Something Norse", edited by "SomebodyScholarly") I especially did that with links and with quoted material.
Good gravy on a stick. I now have a new PC, where I do most of my work, and need to transfer that information over to it. But its Outlook program is the latest and messages don't transfer well at all. Nor do I have quite so many email folders in the new one as I did in the old. Having learned my lesson, I now delete a lot more stuff that I can always go back and find the archives, or I save it to a document. Now.
But my-oh-my, will it take some days of work to clear out that old laptop and make it useable for a herald's consult computer.
Best get to it.
(A-n-d... I should have never purchased a Nook. I spent more time reading last night and this morning than I had at any one stretch in the past months. That thing is addictive! And makes everything far too simple. [And Olwynn - my black & white one is incredibly easy on the eyes. I've been getting daily headaches thanks to allergy season + white screen glare from my computer, but the Nook doesn't add to that at all. And with it's slightly-grey background, it is kinda soothing.])
