Feeling Geeky 37, happily living in Mi with my gamer husband and Webkinz addicted daughter. Some women love jewelery, candy and flowers, but my husband knows when it comes to his wife, it's geeky tech toys that get him lucky.

Computer trouble


I haven't had time to blog much lately. I've had my head stuck in all kinds of computer troubles at work and at home.
At work my computer picked up a nasty virus and our IT guy found all kinds of errors on the hard drive. So after a few days of fighting with it, they decided that tomorrow they will be installing a new HD.
At home, I bought both my girls used Mac's on Ebay and they have been nothing but TROUBLE so far. I have hope for one of them, an iBook G3, it came with the original disks and my husband plans to wipe the HD clean and reinstall the software. That should fix it. I hope !
BUT the other, the cute blue Clamshell iBook I bought for our nine year old has no real hope. It runs like a champ and looks great but with an old and outdated screen resolution, and no way of updating it it's worthless to her. If she can't use it for Webkinz, it's gotta go! So back to Ebay that is going.

It's alive !


I am back from taking the girls to the movies and am on the couch with my laptop. I saw it on my dresser looking all sad and neglected and thought, what the heck I am giving it a try, ya never know. And tada I am back online!
It must be a short or some thing because my husband hasn't even had time to really check it out yet.
No matter what it is I am happy right now. It's been a long few days with out it. I may never turn this baby off again.

Too young to die


Our laptop stop working this afternoon. Out of the blue it just can't find a wireless connection. My husband checked all the usual issues and thinks it could be the wireless switch has gone bad. It's less then a year old so I am pretty pissed off about it. Thank goodness we are blessed with three other computers in the house or I would be a real mess right now.
