Experiencing technical difficulties….

 

L1030566

It started when my computer could not find a battery – battery had  died. Very expensive to replace and delivery would be 8 weeks…Then I would be typing merrily away and only a third of the letters showed up making for some very unusual words and punctuation. Then the touch pad did not like to be touched and it kept jumping out of reach and the pages would scroll and scroll and scroll…

So, after 5 years of excellent performance, it all fell apart. Yesterday I bit the bullet and bought a new computer. I am downloading and updating and installing and moving files. Very, very time consuming.

I hope to finish all of this today and tomorrow and I will be catching up on my visiting very soon.

  8. You made it longer than I did. I go through most any computer within about 2-3 years!

  10. I feel your pain! Both my husband and I have had computer crashes this year. It gets to be expensive and time consuming!
