It was such good news I had to spread the word on the "big" board. :-)

Geez JL, the Geeks couldn't fix the 'puter, we had to wipe it clean and re-install. The Geek said it was some weird virus that they couldn't 'get to', that it hides somewhere in Windows and the only way to get rid of it is to wipe the hard drive clean.

Since Mr. B rarely uses the internet he never took viruses seriously until it started messing up his WordPerfect and other stuff, but now we have the anti-virus thingy.

Now if I could just get my NEW car out of the repair shop!!!! Yes, that's right, my 2 month old car had a problem that we discovered about a MONTH ago and then Audi discovered there wasn't that particular part on the planet so.... they were going to have to make one!! Then they decided to replace the whole right side of the engine (or something close to that) because the part they needed came in that area. The worst part is they gave us an Oldsmobile! to drive until Mr. B fussed so much they finally found an Audi loaner. But it too is a floater (A-6) and not much better than the Olds. They claim they'll pay my car payment for one month, they'd better or else!

Sorry for the rant, I'm just so steamed, it's no wonder I'm thirsting for good news.

Good grief - horrible car news! So far, Mrs.L's "certified" pre-owned Caddy is flawless, and the warranty is even better than that of a new one. SalesDude told me that the employees of the dealership always purchase the certified vehicles for the savings and the warranty.

I don't think that Ken and I would bond on any level, but he's amazing to watch.
