168331...

Here was my weekend (only my second weekend without a wedding since July):
1. Breakfast and start getting a ton of work done
2. Lunch, keep cruising, getting on top of things, all albums designed
3. 2:13pm: watch "blue screen of death" appear on the only PC left in the studio
4. Have a few afternoon beers, vow to never buy a PC again
5. Spend the next 48 hours transferring 168331 files (mostly 2008 weddings) to both macs and new server
6. Monday night: have a few more beers re-installing and configuring software, catch up on e-mail, design some Christmas cards

Great news! We have a triple backup of all weddings and amazingly lost ZERO FILES - your images are safe with Studio J!

Public service announcement: if this ever happens to you, just take out the hard drive, buy a "hard disk enclosure" for about $60 at Best Buy and your drive will function like an external drive. Also you can buy a cool software called windows Parallels Desktop so you can run both Windows and Mac software on a Mac - cool. We are now an all-mac studio! And, silver lining was we got the studio and digital files all cleaned up and re-organized while everything being transferred.

Anybody think the mac logo should be Think Different(ly)? Pretty sure that's an adverb but I'm just a photographer... :)
