Take that, library computer hogs...

matrixrefugeeFinally managed to get to the library and run some needed-to-be-done printout jobs, though I didn't get a chance to burn some files onto CDs that I want/need to transfer to the new comp (most notably, the working files for "Motion to Deactivate"; I discovered that I transferred the wrong version onto the new comp, via the flash drive I used to get the important files off the old comp. I know they're on floppy disks, but I have yet to get the external floppy drive. I'll see if I can't nip into Staples Wednesday and get it then.). Partly I ran out of time and partly I wanted to get away from the horde of brats who were circling behind my chair like vultures when I was in the middle of my second hour on that particular comp. Scratch vultures, they're more like harpies.
Made a "quick" trip to the EB Games in Burlington: on my way out the other day, I'd spotted a used copy of the comp. version of "Enter the Matrix" (for all of $6; it's missing the box, but at least all the disks are there). I almost bought then, but I was in a hurry to catch the next bus after missing one. I asked the clerk the "idiotic question" if they had a copy of the comp version of the new game from the Marketing Brothers, but no luck there. Guess I'll have to wait a few months until one of the folks who thought it bites, sell their copy for a little extra cash. I really need to scale back my spending, since Boskone is coming up later next month and I need to save up for that (not the admission fee, but to accomodate the fact that I usually go a little mad at the book stalls in the dealers' room...)
