Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Finally copied it all, saved to my own laptop and left with hers for her to copy.I'm sure others would have an easier way to this, but I felt accomplished that I got it done.6/6<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/z_lib" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#z_lib</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Software</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/qa_computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qa_computer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows98</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PuppyLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PuppyLinux</a>

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲So I tried the wifi dongle to connect to wireless. Probably too old to connect to modern wifi. Got an ethernet cord out. No ethernet port to connect.Turned it off and on again, hoping Puppy Linux would detect it.Nope.Turned it off and on again, hoping Windows98 would detect it.Yes!But no driver!Oh, fiddlesticks.Maybe I could get a USB 3.5 floppy to USB reader?

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲So tried to copy to USB in the USB port in the back. No USB Flash drives could be read. And I don't have a floppy drive in my current desktop or laptop.Then I found older USB Flash drives. I found one that was only 512mb and thought that maybe it could be read.Couldn't be found in Puppy Linux.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Still too cold, but I needed to get out. Bicycled around town for a bit, then went to the library. My SouthEast ears are having to adjust to hearing MidWest accents.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Just realized Ken Follet's "Kingsbridge" book series hits the same spot as C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" does for me.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Heard a story about Lin-Manuel Miranda releasing a new album based on the 1979 movie "The Warriors". We downloaded it from Hoopla from the Public Library. Spouse had never seen it but followed the story well because the concept of switching out the costuming with band styles really worked.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲20241004 12:15 Friday Dreamed this last night:I was putting books back on some shelves in order. But the bindings were made out of hard wood. And each page was made of fire 🔥. It was very important that the different types of fire were classified correctly and the books were placed in the right places. There was no heat.
