Sun square Saturn opposed to Neptune - a Test

Hysterical laughter, is what this really ought to be called, but for the first time ever in my life I'm trying to utilize my knowledge of astrology and stop knocking myself out trying to do something I might not be able to do while this aspect is in effect and wait until it's passed, when all obstacles will presumably be removed and all will go smoothly ha ha ha.

I posted last week about Mercury opposed to Jupiter and how I offered to provide CDs of the music we dance to at Line Dancing with Vera to the Thursday morning dancing populace at large. I may or may not have mentioned that I said a CD would cost each purchaser 50 cents. I knew I had a stack of unused writeable CDs here and thought I might get back my iTunes money. Or not. I live to serve (natal Jupiter in Virgo).

As there was no work and I was incapable of doing anything else productive today (Sun opposed to Neptune) I thought I'd make a start on burning the disks for Thursday. I'd already found and downloaded most of the music, but needed Sea Cruise and YMCA. Piece o'cake, got them both, had my Line Dancing NY Playlist all selected and ready for burning and inserted one of the disks I've had here for ever - Gigaware (ah yes, a very well-known name brand) 700 MB CD-Rs, bought God knows where and when but presumably useable. Nothing.

Nothing showed up on the desk top. The dreaded beachball from hell which I just found out Apple calls a gear turned and turned and turned until I had to go to the Finder and force quit iTunes. Never one to give up easily, I thought maybe that disk had gone bad or something because it was on top of the pile and put in the second one down. I'd used these disks before, for goodness sake, or they wouldn't be here. Same thing. Nothing recognized, spinning beach ball, force quit again. Time for Apple discussion boards.

Aha! Seems that newer computers need 650 MB CD-Rs (don't ask). A Radio Shack is half a block away so off I go, do you have any 650 MB CD-Rs? Short answer is No, have you tried Staples? No, I say, leaving and preparing to cross First Avenue so I can go up to Lex and see if Staples have 650 MB CD-Rs. But the bell goes off. Wait a minute, I'm trying this on the Intel computer I brought from Silver. The old G-4 I used to use here is in the living room, not connected to the Internet, parked there until I go back to Silva and the Intel Mac with me. The 700s must have worked on that. Back to the apartment, 700 MB disks are read by old G-4 Mac, but downloaded songs are on Intel Mac. Get out Zip Drive (remember them?). Connect Zip Drive to Intel Mac. Intel Mac cannot read Zip Drive. Look at aspects, Sun square Saturn opposed to Neptune. Decide to wait till next morning when aspect passed. First real empirical test of astrology.
