OT -- from bad to worse....
My saga of computer woes hasn't yet ended. I took my little Mac iBook to
see our "local" (about 40 minutes away) Genius Bar at the Apple Store, and it behaved beautifully -- as sick autos do when they go to the mechanic. I brought it home, and the same problems cropped up within very little time. After another (my 40 zillionth, I'm sure) call to Apple tech support, they've determined that my iBook must see the really *important* doctors. So they're sending the ambulance (big box) tomorrow, and it will leave for treatment. I'll be computer-less for a couple of weeks. (( I'm devastated at the thought of not having access to this group and all of the other things I do online, but I'm hoping it will all work out in the end. Now I'd better make a note of what bills I need to pay before I shut down! Don't have too much fun while I'm gone.... -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |

Sandy-
What a terrible problem you're having with your 'puter! I'm a total non-nerd and this sort of thing scares me to death! I think I'd throw mine out and buy a new one before I'd go thru all that. I get so upset at mine that I bang the mouse- which *always* brings DDH and DS#1 on the run! LOL I also get frustrated because the puter and my sm always do what I tell them to do.... instead of what I *want* them to do. Darn machines! Hope you get fixed up real quick! We'll miss you!

I hate to hear that! Does your library have computers you can use so you
can access the newsgroup? DH & I might be in Las Vegas in July for the World Series of Poker. We will probably be there 3-5 weeks so maybe we could have a meet-up somewhere.

I'm so used to being able to access the group anytime I like that this will take some getting used to. G DH & I might be in Las Vegas in July for the World Series of Poker. We will probably be there 3-5 weeks so maybe we could have a meet-up somewhere. Sherry Starr Ooooh! I'd love that! Do keep me updated about when you'll be here. I'll be gone for part of one week in July (Quilt Camp!), but I'll be here for the rest of the month. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |

Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. Thanks, Leslie! I've really been hoping to be able to fix things myself without sending the poor little thing away, and I've never had a problem so serious before that I'd need to do that. I guess it's just my turn. The techie I spoke with today is pretty sure it must be a hardware problem, and there's no way I can fix that myself. :S -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |
