Day 734

Sweated all morning cutting a slot in the computer chassis so the scanner card'd fit all right. Then a dodgy moment: an over-ambitious scan crashed the system and trashed IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS. I spent an anxious half-hour restoring them from drive A. Without a bootable floppy I'd've beeen in trouble.

Watched Star Trek: the Next Generation but it was crap. I'll try again next week, hopefully there might be another Mintaka. Recent heavy drinking has not done me good.
