jwaneeta at 08:41pm on 02/12/2004The old, stroppy, freezy, crashing beast of a former computer sits in my studio. Somewhere in its bowels lurks MovieMaker. Which I don't have on the reasonable, non crashy, stable computer out here.
The virtues of MovieMaker are: freeness, and location at rock bottom of the learning curve. Faults of MovieMaker are: not being very good, I'm told, and location on my old creep of a computer, which can't be plugged in without a three-prong adaptor, because this house still has the wiring it had when built in 1922.
I have adaptors. I've used them all on surge protectors, and the only one I could scavenge is rammed up behing an easel the size of my dining room table. Nearly went crazy getting it in; not so sure I can face getting it out. (I went to the hardware place to get another adaptor, and the guy sold me the wrong thing. I did get a pair of garden shears, finally. In the dead of winter. Le sigh.)
It calls to me, though. MovieMaker. It says: You already own me, and I'm idiot proof! You want to fiddle with me tonight! Bestir yourself! Tackle that easel! Get that converter! What are you, a worm?
