Games

Barb's friend got a new computer from her mother.  She writes a long email to her mother every night and her mother thought it was important that Barb's friend have the same computer as she does.  So Barb's friend was using the new computer now but she couldn't play her favourite games on the new computer because the games came on a DVD and the new computer didn't have a DVD drive.  So she asked Barb if I could help her transfer the games over to the new computer.  We went over to her house and I started working on it.  First, I couldn't get the old computer's DVD drive to open up. I wanted to transfer the exe files from the DVD to a memory stick.  I worked and worked trying to figure out some command line program to open the DVD drive.  Then after working for a half hour and being very frustrated with how slow the computer was.  Barb and her friend asked how it was going.  I told her the trouble I was having opening the DVD drive and her friend just pushed it and it opened.  I told Barb how frustrated I was that the computer was so slow.  I couldn't even scan the memory to find the files that I needed.  Barb asked why I sat there and struggled so long when I should just drive home and get Barb's computer.  I guess it is not good to be too patient.  Barb would have taken action.  So I drove home and brought back Barb's computer which has a working DVD drive and is so much faster.  Then I found out the exe files were too big to fit on my memory stick. I thought I would have to go home again and get a bigger memory stick.  Then I noticed a memory stick in her friend's new computer.  It looked like one of my bigger memory sticks which holds 128 GBs.  So I used it and the files fit.  I was able to transfer the exe files to the new computer and the games worked great.  When we got home, Barb asked me why her friend's computer was so slow and I said I noticed it had multiple virus scanners on it and they were probably conflicting with each other. I didn't want to change anything on either of her computers. I also erased the exe files from her memory stick after I tested the games on her new computer so she wouldn't notice I had used it.
