You could always do the swap right now...put the new, better, card in the main computer and put the one in there into the older computer. You may not have to euthanize it, then.

Please tell me that is not my taxi.
Forgot what I was going to say complaint thread
I could, but through painful experiences I've come to appreciate the policy of not fixing things that aren't broken.
For the moment I have two machines that, all things considered, are similar and fully functional. 
I especially don't want to muck with my primary machine. It's got way too many "improvements" already. I keep decent backups of the software and will "fix" the machine when it needs it, but I wouldn't be surprised that if I tried to make a change that shouldn't affect anything, I'd violate one of Murphy's Laws and let the blue smoke out of some component.
It seems hard to drink my lemonade when I left it in the kitchen when I went to my room to change my outfit. Guess I need to get up and get my lemonade. My fish are too lazy to get it.
used to like watching taxi, still a fun marathon to watch taxi

I actually hate doing hardware work. I have a FireWire card that needs to be installed so that I can offload lots and lots of miniDV tapes onto the computer. I've had it for several years. I tried it once, but the recepticle was positioned oddly and the nice cable I have has a thick plug...which won't fit into the space. I have to either file the case where the plug goes, or cut some of the plastic off the plug. I've decided that if I'm careful, shaving a bit of the plug is the better route. Don't want metal filings floating around inside the case!
This decision was made nearly a year ago. The card is still in the box.

Yes. Yes. And yes!

I don't like doing hardware work after I had surgery. I might buy an external USB drive instead of installing an internal SATA drive. I don't feel like taking off both side panels of the case any more. I need to take one panel off to place the drive into the metal bay. The drive slides perpendicular to the front. In my old computer, I can slide the drive in from the front instead of the side. I need to plug in the power and SATA cable from the other side. OK, I'm going to bed now.
I had my first introduction to electronics dust when I was about 15. I used to tinker around in old televisions before transistors, back in the dinosaur age when TVs had about 7 to 10 or more electron tubes that heated up. The big cabinets were like a heat box that acted as a chimney and sucked in room air and it all contained cigarette smoke. Now, back in the '60s everybody smoked cigarettes. I grew up with houses and cars and restaurants and places of business full of cigarette smoke and never noticed the godawful smell or black sticky stain on the walls until after I quit smoking.
But, back to TVs... Those old TVs got quite hot and sucked through a lot of air. When I opened up the back of an old TV I was always confronted with this greasy, slimy, sticky, smeary, gooey dust on the exposed parts. At the time I never connected it with cigarette smoke, I just figured it was part of the physics of hot electronics.
It never really bothered me and the idle thought in the back of my head was that somehow, electricity running through a resistor or capacitor produced gooey dust. 
It wasn't until I was working at the Kennedy Space Center during the '70s in my smoke free building and smoke free computer lab where the computer interiors might get a bit dusty but were always ungooey, that I had the epiphany that the gooey dust had always been smoke. Well, DUH!!! Not long after that I successfully quit smoking (for the first time.
)

That is not the mole on so and so's face, is it? Wish I could whack someone and get away with it by saying I am playing whack a mole.
I decided to whack Facebook from my tablet instead.
Could be. If so, it was probably the last thing that went through their head.
That's sinister!
You would most likely be whacked right back!

...yeah I remember those days. People could smoke on Greyhound buses, trains, and airliners. My mum was a heavy smoker and it wasn't unusual to see clouds of smoke wafting through the living room. Sadly, in the end the habit claimed her life at too young an age.
I smoked, had pretty much to when I was in Germany as just about everyone in secondary school there did it back then. Returning to the States and buying a pack of American cigarettes is what broke me of the habit. Now while overseas, I was smoking mostly French imports as I lived near the French border in Baden Württenburg (between Karlsruhe and Rastatt), as well as occasionally Russian cigarettes (for some reason popular at the time there, and they were strong). Well, when I lit up and took the first few puffs (don't remember the brand), I almost gagged. They were harsh and tasted like rubbish rolled in paper compared to the ones I had in Europe. Never finished the pack and just quit (think I tossed about it out about half full, fortunately it only cost me about 35¢).
Complaint: End of financial month blues. I've got $4 to last five more days. And I'm already overdrawn on my budget for next month.
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's not a biggie in the complaint department but I've been raiding the penny jar (literally) for a week and hibernating in the house just to stay solvent. I've been a baaaad boy and spent money on DAZ dolls and computer parts and too many nutritional meals during the first two weeks of the month (I blame the good weather). Although, I do still have a little gas in the car so I can go somewhere close, but do you how depressing it is to go somewhere and not spend money? 
There's a small village fair in the town south of me this weekend. I think I'll go and park outside the pay parking area, and wander through the fair smelling the popcorn, cotton candy, caramel apples, crowd sweat and attraction ride grease to get a free high.

I think the sugar in my coffee is well shakened by now. Probably should drink it. We are stopping now at Durham I think. We are heading to Charlotte. Well I am to see family.
Wish I could use my laptop right now.
