So I have a spiffy new MacBook Air because my husband would like his laptop back and my laptop does not get internet access in our garage. And because my in-laws sent us money. I wouldn’t have let him get it otherwise.

Anyway. I’m trying to load Dragon onto the computer. One small problem. It doesn’t have a disk drive. I managed to sink the program proper using the merge systems program inside the operating system (I’m feeling really fucking technically savvy today letmetellyou) and I have otherwise made everything how I want it but there is a disk issue.

In order to get Dragon to work you have to load the English Data. I am not able to get the data off the disk and onto a memory stick and resynching the program just makes the Air ask for the disk again. But an Air doesn’t have a disk slot. And I don’t seem to have a cable that will connect this computer usefully to another computer with a disk slot.

Is such a cable in existence? What should I do? Any advice?
