LOL! I knew we could count on you today! We always can. :)

Do we take you for granted?

Well people, I went out yesterday and bought a computer, an HP Pavilion Slimline with Vista. I set it up and everything is working ok, but one thing I noticed was that my old computer never went down and I realized what had been causing the problem. I was hanging too many things on my old computer and the power drain on the transformer was just too much for it handle, so it overheated and the thermal couple shut it down.

With my new computer I relieved it of its biggest power drain, my TV/monitor, and both computers ran perfectly. Ah well, we live and learn but it has other problems as well which I may be able to clear up now that I know it will not go down.

Of course I have to get rid of all this nasty HP stuff that is loaded in the new computer – I have got rid of some of it and will get rid of more later. So far all the tests I have done seem to work OK.
