WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG

Few people own two laptops , much less three laptops and a desktop. But there are a few nutz like me. Actually the desktop is husband's.

The time has come to remedy some problems I've had with two laptops, leaving me with a iffy, dinky one where I can eat dinner between mouse clicks. Plus it is a laptop I named "does not like to travel." When it is moved I usually have to do a  System Restore from the C prompt. It still boots at this point.

I am waiting for a box for one which has been fixed three times by HP for a video problem between NP and Video that led to a class action lawsuit. Warranty ran out so I set it back and occasionally turned it on long enough for it to update Windows, etc. .

I found the remedy is 4 tiny copper fins added around the graphics accelerator costing all of $7 but I had to do the work. I built desktops but my old hands are not steady enough for the tiny laptop parts. I have found a place which does it and corrects anything else, I hope.

My newest one has an ill-mannered wireless network adapter which chooses to disconnect at its own time. I've lost many a paragraph in a blog as it has gone "off the air." It is in factory warranty.

Backing it up requires 11-12 DVDs and 24 hours, so while one is at the hospital I will backing up the other.

It is conceivable I may be down to "No Traveler" at which point husband's has some quirks he wants me to work on. For reasons unknown he gets lots of virus /worm stuff. I will have to change some settings on his virus program. We both have Kaspersky but I set his at a more elementary setting than mine so he would not have to answer questions the programs intermittently asks.

So blogging may be very sparse the rest of the month but I may be reading, if "No Traveler" cooperates.
