Not much wittiness to report from this end either. Reading textbooks for blind students seems infinitely more interesting than what I've been doing, which is going completely bonkers trying to finish 5 sites whilst simultaneously switching over to a new computer. I have a PC and a Mac in my office, and we recently decided to give me a much newer PC. We gave my old PC to Holly, who needs it for less-memory-intensive-than-web-design tasks like MS Office functions. I got this new machine complete with Win XP, which has become the university's hyper-mandated operating system of choice. XP's not bad, but there are a few things I really can't get used to, like the part where every time I slap a zip disk into the drive, a "helpful" little screen appears like a nosy neighbor and says something like, "Oh! Hi there! I couldn't help but notice that you just put a disk into the drive! Here's a list of things I could do now. Pick one!" Unfortunately, none of the options are "Sod off. I'll go through 'My Computer' just like I always do."
