GAH!

Thanks, Bob. I needed that. This thing froze up (BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW!) and said it needed to “update” and there were only 81 updates to install. This was the third time since plugging it in that it wanted to “update.”

After endless waiting, the thing gave me the message that I wasn’t connected to the internet. :tearing hair out, here: I checked the surge protector and it was off (my left foot?) so I ran the CD to install the software. It didn’t complete. So I took the CD out and wonder of wonders...internet service!

After the week that followed my miserable birthday, this is just something else to stress about, which may be a good thing. Then I don’t have to have a pity party of one. Tempting, but no BBQ ribs and Pink Drink.

I will see if I can download one or two other sites and then call it quits for the night. My brane is tard.

And thanks for the suggestion. :o]

For what it’s worth, you probably have some of the best tech support on the ‘net as long as you can get to us.

We’ll help your tarred brane.

See why I'm glad I found my cookies? Being able to take great joy in simple pleasures is the secret of happiness, and a trait we have in common with our Creator. The simple joy of watching us deal with our confusions has to be a continuing delight for Him.
