SWISSMEMORY

["Thomas F. Droege" <droege@fastmail.fm>]

Thanks to all for help on the Swiss Army Memory.  As most advised, it
just shows up on /mnt/SWISSMEMROY  I don't see why they made it all
caps, but that is what they do.  

The problem was that it was not plugged into the USB.  OK, it is as bad
as it sounds.  You have to get your nose down on the floor to plug it
in.  In this particular computer it is hard to do.  At now 76 getting
down on the floor is impossible.  I am in the "I've fallen and I can't
get up" crowd.  Not quite, but I don't crawl around on the floor unless
it is a life or death matter.  I don't know why but Dan just spent a few
minutes wiggling it and the green light would go on and off.  OK, that
is how I figured out what needed to be done.  I plugged it into another
computer and saw the green light on the Swiss Memory.  Then I knew to
look for it and to have Dan wiggle the wire. 

OK, so I still know how to troubleshoot, but the mechanics of it get in
the way.  

Meanwhile, Dan is here tonight and it putting cooling into tom2 and
tom3.  Now I just have to remember how to run all the software.  I
figure I will be able to do it if I can find my way from my bedroom to
my office.  Let's see, do I turn right or left at the bathroom?
