Happiness is a 1-GB jump drive

I finally quit talking about it and bought one. I ordered it from Dell, which happened to have the lowest price, and it arrived last week. I was too busy all weekend to do anything with it... but tonight I decided I was going to make time for this. I plugged in our old computer, attached the monitor, found a keyboard and mouse and hooked them up -- and turned it on. It lives!

Then I plugged the jump drive into a USB port. At last I could transfer my music. I'd burned all the rest of my files onto a disc when I knew I'd be getting the new computer, but my music files were just too big. It took almost an hour to copy all of them onto the drive...

...But only a few minutes to copy them from the drive to the new computer! Oh bliss. And now I'm listening to my Israeli songs that I've missed for the past several months. No, I can't understand a word they're singing, but that's not a problem. I love the music, and I don't need to know the language to pick up the rhymes. And anyway, when I listen to these songs I remember Firstborn sitting here copying them onto the computer and telling me a little about each one, when he visited last year.
