Let's see, after three business days of tech anguish (more, if you're counting all the time I spent archiving files) I've got three quarters of the department upgraded to OS X. Okay, to be fair, Trevor was already at 10.2. My boss' computer went completely smoothly -- system restore, upgrade, reinstall apps. Joy's computer was a nightmare. System restore, attempt X.3 -- no go. Clean install X.3 -- no classic. System restore, attempt X.1 -- disk error, start over. System restore, upgrade 9.2, archive restore and 9.2, install X.3 -- finally works. But not the way we'd planned. The idea was that we'd get everyone set up with 10.2 but switch their disks to boot to 9. Then, we'd have the OS X training and switch their disks right away. Well, Joy is going to have to learn early because X.3 won't play that way.

I think I mentioned that my folks are getting Tim and I a refrigerator for Christmas which is really cool. However, it's going to be a little tricky since it's arriving Christmas Eve and I'll have to transfer all my holiday food mid-guests. Turns out it's even more crazy -- apparently the new fridge will have to sit upright in the house warming up for two days until I can turn it on. Not quite sure what to do with that. Part of me is almost tempted to move the old fridge down into the basement now* and just run it in the garage for a month. Eh, maybe not.

On the Christmas front, I've got all the easy presents done. Now, it's just the hard ones left. Blah.
