14 years ago today ...

#1 Post by gsabc » Wed Oct 29, 2008 5:44 pm

I taped my Wheel of Fortune shows. Three of them. Undefeated champion. Declared value of winnings: just over $64,000 (actual ended up around $45K, $36K or so of which ended up as cash).

I hope clem21 was even more successful today. Should be a lucky day, though. :D
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Does WoF have return contestants anymore? That was quite a nice
run. I know you have good memories of that!

I was on after you had to take the shopping sprees. A little over half was straight cash. My prizes were a trip to Cancun, a cruise on a modern day clipper ship (we still get mailings from them, as if we could afford it on our own), and an ugly hunk of jewelry which was out of style and way overvalued.

Based on the Subject, I thought this was about you transferring files to your new PC. :)

Close. It hung on a file it couldn't move to the external drive, and of course it needs a manual click to continue. It finished this AM and I started moving it over to the new computer. Naturally, there are many files that won't transfer, which also require operator assistance to pass over and move on. I left it running, but I'm sure it stopped within seconds of my departure, waiting in vain for another "continue" click. :(
