The computer saga really isn't much of a saga. I've had this dell laptop since the beginning of my residency 5 years ago. It served me fairly well (besides the hard drive going kaput in a relatively brief period of time) up until a year ago when it decided to run exceedingly slowly. I just put up with it for months. Then we got new computers at work, nice little dell laptops that actually work. So, this home computer didn't get much use for awhile. I wanted to put together a music compilation but couldn't even keep the media player from locking up while opening let alone burn a disc. The computer fix-it man put in 2 gigs of RAM and cleaned up all of the spam and put in a great anti-virus program. Now we are as good as new.
Then, last weekend, Mike's 8 year old Mac decided to give up the ghost. I don't know if it was jealous of updated computers or what but even the apple experts can't get it to turn on. So, a new computer is on the way (from China - did you know that Macs are produced in China?).
That is a long way of saying perhaps I'll be writing more now that my computer is working. And, I can download pictures again so maybe I can show you life around here, including our beautiful landscaped yard and garden ...
