Business Plan - Day 010/Computer problems

everything seems to be smooth, so far.

so far, so good, i should say.

on this side of the atlantic, i've been busy talking to folks critical to our business. i just spent the past hour and a half talking to people in CA about copyright permission. my partner and i really need to get together now and talk, but that will be difficult since i'm stateside and he's czechside.

but it seems like the pieces are moving into place.

anyway, i'm very excited at the moment because everybody i've talked to today has been remarkably friendly.

on a different note, i'm still very lost about what to do with my computer - which does relate to the business, in a way that i cannot clarify at this moment.

the problem right now is that the cd-burner/dvd-rom internal doesn't work. it can play dvds but burning is another issue and it has some trouble reading some discs.

i need to take the computer in for some work, but i don't know how or when. and before i do that, i need to back up my harddrive.

i have an external dvd-burner for that reason (to back up my harddrive) but the program that runs the burner (Toast 6.0) won't work without the program disc in the internal drive. but i can't get the internal fixed until i back up the harddrive. so it's a perverted catch-22, because i'll be able to make it out of the circle as soon as i get an external harddrive to store my music on. ideally, that will be within a week but there are no apple stores around here, so it probably won't be for awhile.

but then i've considered trading in my computer for a more modern one (complete with internal bluetooth and USB2).

anywho, very happy about the business. very confused about the computer.

My mom said there is a Mac store in Indy at Keystone at the Crossing. She also said she had a similar problem and downloaded the program Toast and was able to use the external. You should be able to get a free trial of this.
