When the manure hits the windmill
Well, I wrote on Friday how my laptop was complaining of ill health….
It is very sick indeed.
In fact it has pretty much seen the white light at the end of the tunnel, though there is still a faint heartbeat. There is word of a heart transplant in the coming week but just in case, I’m currently removing everything off the hard drive before the funeral.
I am having to resort to a clapped out old machine that I thought was an air-conditioner, but turns out to be a PC. It’s in the junk room, and there is nowhere to sit so I won’t be doing much typing here.
I thought of asking Herself for a loan of hers, but after an attempt at baseball-bat-persuasion she has locked herself and her laptop in the bedroom.
So every cloud does have a silver lining?
One way or another, I am sans e-mail or even a decent browser, so I don’t think I’ll be in touch much.
You’re a clever bloke, sure can’t you whip up your own PC using a calculator and a wireless radio and a coathanger? You could use that old car battery that’s been hanging around our front garden if you’d like.

I’ve got an old PII sitting on the porch that might still work. Win98 on it last I remember. There’s an old Apple IIE (enhanced!) as well but “Open-Apple-Reset” might not be to your liking.
I just reloaded the old beater with Windows XP Pro–again. So are ya’ back yet or what?

Spilled your beer on it again, did you?
Good luck with the shopping today, if it comes to that.
K8 – Good thinking. The old days of making crystal sets came in handy after all.
Kirk M – Have you nothing with Windows 3.1 on it? I can’t understand this modern stuff at all.
Susan – I never spill my beer on PCs or anything else. It’s too precious.
