Im not sure if the flash set up is the same as the older set up that i have Jess?

What sort of things does it ask?

YOu cant open it on your other computer to check the set up there?

If not, we can see if its the same sort of thing as mine??

I must have been typing as the same time as Cass. Good on you Cassie!

 

[cassie]

sorry Jess at work, can't pull it up atm... hope those instructions help though

 

[jessj]

yes cassie!! Thanks so much! Heather emailed it to me at the same time! I saved it this time. I dont have and extra power cord here to look it up on the other computer...it would have been a pain!

[cassie]

[anyssapark]

I was just about to ask if she rolled much or acted strange outside at all. Interesting.

She seems a lot calmer tonight so far.

Yes, do go and catch some sleep. I will be here for a good 5-6 hours at LEAST, as i am working on the computer all day. So go and catch up on your sleep. We'll call if anything is happening
