Woo Hoo!
I finally gave up on repairing the olde computer, and pulled the new Dell out of the boxes. A little initialization, a few calls to Comcast, and I'm up and running like a scalded dog. Or a cat with turpentine on its ass. Depends on which species you choose to abuse.
As for the olde computer? The only thing I really want on there is last year's taxes, which I can always save to CD. I was going to cascade it to Number One daughter, but it was her egregious downloads that crippled it in the first place, so she must do penance for a while. Then she can use the laptop whenever I get around to hooking up the network server. The olde computer I may encase in Lucite, like Derbyshire does his books.
Bored yet? Too bad. I still have to call Comcast back for the third time tonight and regroove my e-mail. I can't wait to tell you all about it.
Update: E-mail is good, but I wouldn't know it from the incoming.
