I have finally taken the plunge and will be taking my present computer and my new one (that has been sitting in its unopened box for three, maybe even four, months) to a store to get all the data transferred! I researched data transferral till the early hours of this morning, at the end of which I knew I couldn't face all the stress and confusion of doing it myself. In the past, I have always done it myself, but this time I am too stressed out to face it. Hopefully, I should have the new one up and running, with e-mail and Internet working, within a week. I AM looking forward to working with 3GB of RAM instead of 256 MB, LOL!!! Hoping that computer withdrawal won't be too severe - don't want to be driven to having to plug in my vacuum cleaner in pure desperation : ). It might just die from the shock of being turned on, LOL! See you all soon! I was thrilled to bits when I visited the Calgary Zoo last week and discovered that the Leafy Rose Cactus was in bloom in the Conservatory! I hadn't seen its flowers before.

This beautiful red flower comes from a huge cactus in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo.
