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.

Word handles Hebrew, but not very well. It has problems with left-to-right and right-to-left text appearing on the same line, and some versions won't change the font size, no matter how many times you press the button.

I've actually found that Openoffice.org 2.0 handles the Hebrew issues better than Word.

For some reason, your e-mail account is rejecting e-mails from my subsidiary account as spam. Therefore, I am re-sending this message as a comment on your LJ. If I get a chance to get to a computer that can access my Yahoo account, I shall re-send it that way.

I need to be in Riverdale (in the Bronx) at 8:00 PM, so please visit me at OZ before dinner, rather than afterward. If your last class ends at 5:30, you should be able to arrive at OZ around 6:00, if not earlier. See you then.
