New Computer

[debka_notion]

My new computer arrived today, which I might not have known as I'm having trouble setting up my voicemail for the land line, except that I ran into my RA, who said the mailroom had been trying to find me because I had "a gigantic package" (it wasn't that huge a box, in my opinion...), so I went down and ta-da, here it was, pretty much all set to go. Now I just need to figure out how one persuades Word to do Hebrew as well, and I'll Really be all set to go, besides putting my set of saved files on, and then at some point in the future snabbing my music back from my old computer/Em. But I am once again able to access the world via internet at hours of my own choosing. And this thing is very long and very skinny- not at all what I was expecting, but quite, quite cheerful.

In the meantime, there's laynen to learn, I did a quick check on my nusakh for P'sukei D'Zimra with one of my neighbors, I have boiled eggs to turn into deviled eggs (and any way I spell that, it looks wrong, so my apologies if it should have had another 'l'), and a good amoutn of straightening to do.

Conversion is rarely perfect, even between two different versions of MS Office (and sometimes between two different *builds* of the same version of MS Office, as anyone who's tried to transfer equations between copies of Word might tell you). Especially if you do something in any way complicated, it's best to use a program's native format (for OOo, it's OpenDocument format).

Font and spacing conversion issues usually have less to do with what program reads the document as what fonts happened to be available and used on the particular computers.
