Computer crashed...

Post by RTR »

I'm sorry I disappeared for a bit, but my computer's hard drive died, and it had been too long since I've updated, so we replaced everything. Now, two computers and 4 monitors later, I am still not reliably back online. The data folk will be back out for the afternoon today...

So, I'll be here as often as I can and for as much time as I can, but we still have some program conflicts which are driving me to drink (which is not in itself a long drive).

Did you "accidentally" drop them in one of your fish tanks? (unplugged of course) lol

Welcome back
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Nope, not immersed in any tank, just dead of old age per the data company. That was quite an old unit. The issue with upgrading was incompatibilities between newer Microsoft versions and my visual support programs - not all of which are resolved yet - and may never be.

It is good to be back, even if for limited times per visit.

I was having withdrawal symptoms. Herself did not whether to have me sedated or shot. Lots of chocolate and beef (not together) helped. Healthy eating was off for the duration.

Nope, just sufficient chocolate peanut butter cups to hold me over between steaks and baked potatoes w/sour cream & butter. There are advantages to be underweight...
