As 1 door closes, another opens

“As one door closes, another one opens” goes the timeless phrase.. I’m changing it to fit the 21st Century: As one problem is fixed, another one develops…

Yupp.. Allow me to elaborate. For the past 3 months or so, I’ve been living with my CDRW drive for burning and reading CDs while my CDROM sat quitely below it, unable to scan the surfaces of any CD I gave it to read..

So today I finally got motivated to swap the CD drive off another unused computer that I had lying around.. Its an old Creative iNFRA1800 which I could control with a remote provided I actually possessed the remote..

So I lay both computers side by side, fall-in style, and took each apart, and swaped the CDROM drives. After much tweaking and fiddling, I managed to get it to work. Ah.. happiness.. So I closed the case, arranged my cables neatly, and went back to life with a functioning CDROM drive.

I just tried to read a floppy disk. And Wonders of Wonder! My floppy drive now refuses to work.. As one problem is fixed, another one develops…

Heck, I’ll swap the Floppy Drive when I need to use it. Ignorance is bliss.. Anyone want a disfunctional 3 1/2 inch Floppy Drive?
