http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981 Well for some reason I put my old desktop computer with the original files of the book I am working on in the BACK of the storage unit. Dumb. Moving everything in the way was such fun. I still have bruises from trying to get to that darned thing. But I finally did. Then the older Mac (Performa) wouldn't read the new CDs I bought to copy the files on...hmm? I put in an older CD that already had data on it I had copied before and it read it just fine. I changed brands of CD, to the one I know it will read. Hope that helps. If not, I'll have to get someone to pull those files off my hard drive for me...dumber!

There are some other more complicated ways, but if it has USB, use it my friend. I even have a USB thumbdrive you could use if need to. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981/#c_57380 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981/#c_57380 Does it have a USB port Sonny?

Thanks Brandon...I believe it does have USB ports, and I'll take you up on your offer. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981/#c_57384 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981/#c_57384 Thanks Brandon...I believe it does have USB ports, and I'll take you up on your offer. You could always hook up your computer to the internet and send your files to an email account and download to anywhere. My file cabinet is maintained by Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail. Good luck, Sonny. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981/#c_57616 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981/#c_57616 You could always hook up your computer to the internet and send your files to an email account and download to anywhere.

Thanks for the advice...I am sure I'll find a way, just feel "less than smart" for not taking them off originally when I more or less retired that computer. I appreciate it. http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981/#c_57618 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/ALongLook/7981/#c_57618 Thanks for the advice...I am sure I'll find a way, just feel "less than smart" for not taking them off originally when I more or less retired that computer.
