"Morning, Loddy. I've already gone to my control panel. I'm wondering if my sound card has gone bad. My computer is old enough that things have gone bad. The hard drive, modem and motherboard have all been replaced in the last year and a half.
My nephew plants to come visit at Easter, and he's going to help me build a new computer. I'll just keep this one going until then. And, if it's still running, I'll keep this one up and running just to have a 2nd one around. For sentimental reasons, I guess.
Keep the second one for guests, and password protect your new machine.
Cheers out there - it's gunshow weekend here in Austin.
