The Mac Has Moved.
That was fun. The Mac is now in the corner beside Scott's computer desk, so all the comptuers (except Scott's ancient 386, which is upstairs) are in a row again. It fit just about perfectly, that "TV stand": there's about two inches on either side, enough to work nicely.
Of course, the games cabinet was there. It's now over by the heater, where the TV stand was. We may move it, but I'd vastly rather have the games closet than the computer and UPS over by that heater, considering we do use it in the winter!
I have heard many sides of the religious OS wars. Me? I'm impressed by cable-less mice and keyboards. Not normally, no, but right this minute, yes.
The biggest part of the undertaking was moving the games cabinet, because unloading it would've been a pain. Fortunately, it has wheels, so Scott rolled it into place after we cleared a path for it. Then I unloaded the Mac from the TV stand - er, Mac stand - rolled the Mac stand (with only its bottom cabinet full) over to the corner where the gaming cabinet had been, and reloaded the Mac onto it. The biggest part of that operation? Untying the blasted Mac, as I am not capable of carrying a computer, a spare drive, a modem, a keyboard, a mouse, two speakers, and a monitor simultaneously. They did not want to untie.
It is now in its new corner. The power cords are dangling down the front, waiting to be attached to the UPS after it's had time to charge. (It's supposed to have four hours, probably I won't bother till tomorrow night, since I'll hardly use it tomorrow morning, after all.) The UPS disturbs me. Four 'battery' outlets, four 'surge protection only' outlets. Nice little thing.
Except. It's irridescent. Pale. Lavender. Almost white with a hint of purple, really. It's a cute color. But it's not a cute UPS, because it can't really manage cute. What disturbs me is that someone was obviously trying. I don't care if it's a nice fashion accessory, it just better not let the computer fry! Jeesh.
*grins* Ah, well. On that note I am going to bed, which I shoulda done an hour or more ago. Except I'm feeling much happy with having accomplished that, and when my dad gets here tomorrow with the television stand (he and mom have an old one they're not using, hence my decision to go on using the Mac Stand as a Mac stand, and not a TV stand), there will be somewhere to put it!
If we haven't piled anything there by then, but even we aren't usually that quick to clutter. Close, but not quite.
