laptop and it only took me three nights (in total).


I even got our entertainment system set up and the signal going to all our tv's, upstairs and downstairs. I have cable in my sewing room now so it won't be so deathly quiet down there. YAYE!!!

It is always such a challenge and I sometimes think there is no way I'll remember how to do it all, but as long as everyone else is asleep and I can concentrate, it all comes back. PHEW!!!

I guess there's life left in my tired old brain after all. hahahahahahaha.

My word - you were not kidding with the wires. How did you ever know where they all went? It looks wonderful - all set up.

Well done Meg, I knew you could do it. It just takes patience and as you say some quiet time.

Are you free on Wednesday? I can come and help do some more work if needed!

Love Chris

Wish you'd post how to do this, when I had to replace our printer, which is connected to the desktop, and is networked to my laptop - it will not allow me to print from laptop now - it used to work - don't know what I have done wrong. I've worked for several months to get this working again -such a pain to have to go turn on the desktop in hubby's office just to print something (and my sewing/craft room is upstairs where the other desktop stays that is also on the network with laptop - lots of trips up and down stairs some days).Any suggestions?

Oh Meg...wish you were here! I can't get my computers to "talk" to one another in the house anymore. Arg! I need to be able to access my embroidery files from my laptop in my sewing room.

Yippie, I don't know how you managed - I could never do that. Rick was always the one that did that sort of thing - now I am going to have to learn - if I ever plan on moving anything around. Maybe you should share some photo's - I always think it is so amazing that anyone can tell what cord goes where. Hehehe!

Congratulations, that is one step closer to getting the embroidery machines up and running as everythig else is finished in your home. On second thoughts when is a house finished?

OH, blast, I never thought of that. hahahahahahahahah.

now let me see, the sewing room or finish sorting the office, hmmmm????

I think it must be time for the sewing room, since Chris (Pennifold) gave me such a good start packing the fabric in the cupboard for me. :-)))

When I ever manage to get my TV/Video etc set up right (if!!), I take a pic with the digital camera in case I have to change anything and need to do it all again :) Well done Meganne. When are you coming to visit me and sort all mine out? LOL.
