The best laid plans.............
Tonight my plan was to set up my old computer and run WipeDrive, to clean the hard drive of any of my old information, so I could recycle the computer on Saturday here in town.
However, after digging out the old tower and monitor, hooking them up, and trying to hook up a mouse or keyboard to it, I realized the only mouse and keyboard I have are too new to be compatible with the old computer.
*Sigh*
Guess that project will have to wait, and now this bedroom is in worse shape than it was just 30 minutes ago, lol.

Yeah, I know what you mean about best laid plans...had a few go down hill on me tonight. :\
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the old computer. (want an old mouse and keyboard?)
what happened to the mouse and keyboard that you had with that computer?
ReplyDeleteI tossed them when I got the new computer, thinking I wouldn't need them again. They were old, and how was I to know the connections would change and I wouldn't be able to use newer ones with it? LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer AK. I may have to take you up on it, lol. The computers here at work are new enough to not have the right connections either. I emailed my friend's husband to see if he has any old keyboards sitting around. If he doesn't, I can check with a friend of his who also works on computers.
They make adapters for the mouse and keyboard...or used to. We had to buy a mouse adapter when we had to buy a new mouse for our one computer at the feed mill. The computer was quite old.
