Grrrrrr....

I HATE technology when it doesn't work the way it's supposed to. I've got both of my computers up-and-running, trying to download a video from my camera, and neither of them can figure out the file format and thus keep giving me copy errors. Perhaps it's the camera, you say? Yes, that's a possibility, EXCEPT that I can get the video to run on both computers from the camera. So the computers RECOGNIZE the file format enough to play the video, but neither of them can seem to SAVE the file.

That and I'm getting a bajillion questions from my husband and daughter right now as I try and solve this problem:

Can I go downstairs in the cold basement and get my Dora gloves?

When is the Westminster dog show? What channel is the puppy bowl on?

PEOPLE, I'm trying to solve a technology issue and nothing gets me more frustrated then when I can't figure something out. Could you leave me alone for a few minutes when I obviously look stressed and am not really in the mood to talk?

THANK YOU.

More gripes

So not only have I lost my camera, but it looks like I might have to replace my Nano, or at least my Nano's battery. It won't hold a charge anymore. I went to the gym and in one hour completely drained the battery. Just. Not. Right.

But here's the dilemma: do I bother replacing my Nano's battery (and technically my Nano because they actually give you an entirely new or refurbed unit) or do I just get a new Nano? After all, I own a first gen Nano with a couple of years under its belt.

Now I know what you're saying: didn't you just get a new iPod? The answer is, yes. But I bought the Touch, which is not for gym use. Seriously. It's more of my traveling, take-with-me everywhere-*but*-the-gym player. I happen to be one of those freaks who has a separate device for working out. So sue me.

We'll see. I'm going to hit the Apple store on Monday with Nano in hand and make some sort of decision then. In the meantime, if I could only find my camera...

Happy dance!

I got it! I got it! I got it!


And once I can download the latest version of iTunes - the stupid site is down right now - I'll be able to use it!

Seriously, there is no better feeling than this (except when you, as the Highlander, chop off the head of your enemy thus absorbing all of his/her energy...I imagine that's quite the feeling).

Technology rocks!
