handsomeharry had forgotten how to network his laptop with his desktop, and aceplace57 told him how. I had no idea it was that simple, so I was elated to set up my own. I fiddled a bit to test if I could access my music for iTunes (yes) and tested whether I could move files from one computer to the other (yes). Started fantasizing about how to make my file management & backups more efficient.
THE NEXT DAY one of my cats body checked me while I was drinking coffee and . . . you know the rest. (Snap, crackle, pop) I have never kept anything important on my laptop EXCEPT my financial data. Turns out, while I was fiddling with the home network stuff I had randomly copied a backup of that file to the desktop. Instead of losing months of data, I had to re-create a couple of days worth.
