once the dust settles
Ooh, that might take a bit, perhaps by days end maybe. Depends on how much I linger in pleasant bewilderment. Have to say, it really feels like I got a new Mac, as in I haven't figured it all out yet.
My clone wouldn't start it, just a gray screen. The clone I really wanted to start from, on the 150HLFS, well, that disk has not wanted to fit yet. That's a bit of a mystery that I need todays good daylight to tackle. I put in the WD640 last night instead, which has my other clone, Time Machine, and, gulp, 10.4 on it. The MaxUpgrade sleds worked like a charm, I have two 300gb VRs up and running.
But I wasted a lot of time trying to put a fresh, from my new dvds, system on one, and them (yep, tried to stripe the two together for fun). Do I hear someone in the audience saying "format scheme"? As in some Intelish-hellish format scheme? Perhaps I do, I'm still somewhat befogged.
Migration Assistant was out helping other people yesterday, I got few benefits from it. Well, it remembered my Mail settings, which is more than I had the intelligence to write down or remember.
Otherwise, transferring over the account from the Quad made a sick puppy of an account on this Mac.
The most I accomplished at days end was using Superduper (downloaded fresh from the net) to clone this Macs original drive to one of the VRs. I didn't expect that to work either, but it did. I like that program more and more.
So today's endeavors will be, one, installing a fresh new system on one of my drives, minus the gunk.
Two, resurrecting one of my clones to work.
Three, go back inside the Mac again, find the power connector I need for my Sonnet card and get the rest of my drives online. And while there, try to figure out why the 150VR didn't fit.
So far, even though in my egotistical mind I thought I would have everything set up and ready to go in a half hour or less, there's a sweet-sour misery I'm feeling that I'm enjoying very much. ๐
I haven't taken PS4 or AE3 for a spin yet. Those are pleasures I'm waiting on. As far as games though, well, do I embarrass myself by admitting that Star Wars Battlefront is a favorite? It's so darn pretty. Too bad, even though I saw on a list that it was playable on an IntelMac, it doesn't play on mine. ๐ Shouldn't Rosetta be helping me out a bit? Where is she, I want to talk to her supervisor.
