Grrrr...

I just spent more than two hours on the phone to one of my tech-support friends trying to get iTunes to install on my computer. With no luck whatsoever. It isn't the first multi-hour session spent working on the problem, either.

I want to kick the comptuer. Which is a wonderful computer in every other way. Does everything I want or need. Except this.

I'm going to go read some fanfic now. Or maybe write some.

Right, you'd need to put some of your files elsewhere ... burn to CD or something. Or buy and install another harddrive. Run the Windows harddrive as master and a second one with Linux on it as slave (not my terminology, mind you.) There are utilities available for Linux these days that will let Linux read and write to the NTFS filesystem XP uses.

I do have an old hard drive that I could put some of those files on. Not a large one... 8 gig, I think. I've been ignoring it for years.

That hard drive could still be useful if it's fast enough. You could have it installed as a slave drive, or put it in a powered enclosure to use as USB storage.
