OK, so it's been a hectic couple of months, what with moving to the farm, getting the horses settled in, vacating the old place, fighting off the french cheese invaders, and so forth, so I haven't had much chance to play with Carrara 2 yet. So this weekend I figured I'd take a break from fixing up the house and play a bit. First thing I did was go to the eovia site and download the patch, then I installed it. Bad mistake. Very bad mistake. Now Carrara won't start at all. OK, no problem, I'll just reinstall Carrara, thinks I. I THINK WRONG. Because, the Carrara 2 CD is in some unnamed box among the many unnamed boxes in my garage (picture the last scene of Indiana Jones). So far I have found: The manual, the invoice/receipt, the content CD, the secret code, all the stuff from the Metacreations version, all the stuff from the Carrara Studio upgrade, but not the application CD for Carrara 2. BECAUSE I AM A BOZO WHO DOES NOT PUT THINGS AWAY PROPERLY. sigh At least, this will give me incentive to finish unpacking the mess in the garage. The moral of the story is: Don't be installing any patches unless you have the original CD in your hot little hands. Please learn from my bozocity. The NEXT BOZO COULD BE YOU. The sad thing is, I probably won't learn from it at all. I AM JUST THAT MUCH OF A BOZO.
