A couple of months ago the NEC cd drive died and she's been without the ability to play. Yesterday (11/16) I saw an ad for a $99 external CD at Fry's and decided to get it for her machine. We went and bought the drive and got home just in time for me to see the kickoff of the Dallas/Washington game. She wanted to get the drive installed and I wanted to watch the game so I told her to install it herself, figuring that she could get it unpacked and close to being installed and I could complete the job during a commercial. Ten minutes later I hear her shouting from upstairs "got it working, thanks dad!" I'd like to see a nine-year-old do that on a wintel machine. Thanks MAC. |
