Happy little computer achievement

The main family computer is an IMAC. One of the features that encouraged me to make the cross-species switch from Windows was the ability to run Windows on the Mac using "Parallels" software. Parallels lets you run Windows and Mac programs at the same time on a "virtual" Windows machine within Mac.

The only annoying shortfall of Parallels was its inability to read USB hard drives, like the ones that I had used to back up the content of the last Windows machine before the hard drive died (twice in 4 months, another reason I switched to the Mac).

Now Parallels has upgraded the software, and my old backup USB drives are again available to me. That means a lot because of all of the happy old pictures there. Like this of Dan in his junior high orchestra



What a difference two or three years makes!

I still have some manipulating to do to make the photos as easily accessible as they ought to be, but they are there!
