Lucky I had disks of their gimpy stupid Microsoft Works programs - even if I did have to retrieve them from MD.

I just spent three days upgrading my parents' PCs with the help of my own Minor Diety. <BR/><BR/>Umberto Eco claimed that Macs were Catholic and PCs were Protestants. With the Macs, someone has done all the work of interfacing with the greater power for you, you just have to follow their way and observe the proper protocals. With a PC, you have to figure out how to connect to the great juju all by yourself.<BR/><BR/>Time to sleep - I am very tired!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15901777.post-1158624609127051402006-09-18T21:10:00.000-03:002006-09-18T21:10:00.000-03:00Marko?

As I type I am aware that the screen on my laptop is degrading in that it has 5 vertical lines on the screen. This drives said techy bonkers and he's got the bits ( bits! See I am soooo technical?) to replace the screen. But I know my laptop will be left mid surgery on the dinning room table, it's organs gasping and it's entrails writhing across the table cloth for posssibly days. So, the surgery has to wait until I am brave enough to cope.herhimnbrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182397064631016552noreply@blogger.com
