went to leisure world (the retirement community with the name to make it sound like it’s an amusement parktm) to go to pap-pap’s this morning with the mac plus so i could set it up and install a scsi card in his new computer so he could get the files off old disks he had, copy them to the mac plus’ hard drive, and hook that up to and put them onto his new computer. only problem is the port for the hard drive isn’t a scsi port, so he’s going to talk to his pals with the washington apple pi and see if they know where/how to get a cable adaptor that might work.
he liked me getting it all up and running and hooking him up with a scsi card, so he gave me $60 for my troubles ^-^ he also said that once he gets his files off his old floppies and on to his new computer, then if he doesn’t have any more need for the mac plus then i can have it back and do what i want with it, hehe… maybe i will end up turning it into an aquarium, or maybe just paint more pictures of it, haha… ^_^
i cracked myself up singing to different songs on my ipod on the way back, lol…
