Computers are not our Friend

Exciting Computer Adventure

Recently the media has been playing up a most unusual event; no, not the Mayan Apocalypse, A virus for the Mac!  We Mac users have always been very smug about not getting them like the PC users seem to do.  So, letting my paranoia get the best of me, I tried to get my Time Machine working again so I would have a back-up in case the virus came my way and destroyed all of my documents and pictures et all.

My Time Machine filled up and told me to open a new disk when it is suppose to erase the oldest after a certain time.  Apparently my TM didn't do that.   Trying to find out about changing a disc, I even started prying on the TM machine but it foiled my feeble attempts so I unplugged the damn thing and put it out in the garage with my other out-dated and useless electronic equipment.

Vist to MCRD and Camp Pendelton

Dear friends, former jar-heads along with a couple of Army guys ( I know who you are but won't tell the Marines ) oh, and one swab jockey and Coast Guard dependent.

Spent a few days last week down at the old stomping grounds on Camp Pendleton and MCRD checking out what's happening.  My old fire team leader, Dick Svee and I had talked about going down and seeing the Amtrac museum for some time now, so time permitted and away we went.
