@OckhamsShotgun I did my celebrating yesterday, on NYEE, so it’s a quiet one for me tonight.
@_pigeons_ Good plan!
@_pigeons_ @petehindle If it’s for not-fast storage, a USB 3 drive should be fine hanging off a USB 2 port.
@_pigeons_ For storage, you may well have FireWire 800 port, which will be faster than USB 2. But a USB 3 drive should be OK on USB 2.
@petehindle @_pigeons_ No, it doesn’t. What do you need to do?

@RellyAB …the only thing I’ve found that really helps in this circumstance is to find a good long film to watch instead of waiting :)
@RellyAB That’ll generally only help if it’s turned down in advance of the change, I’m afraid.
