I'm Such a Techie

OK, not really, but I wish I was. Heaven knows I love playing with electronic gadgets, but only when I know what I'm doing. I purchased my very first external hard drive a few weeks ago and had no idea what to do. From what everyone said, you plug it in, take the stuff off your computer, then plug it in to something else, and presto! There it is. Sadly, that is not what happened to me. Sure, I got the stuff off my first computer, but then was unable to get it off the extrenal hard drive and onto a different computer. I've been SO frustrated! Luckily I've got a friend at work who speaks fluent computer-ese and was able to diagnose my problem. I'm now about to view all my files, access them in a snap, and put new things on the external drive. I'm a happy girl!
