Part of the silence around here has been due to the anticipated arrival of my new computer. My old one (and I mean old – Pentium 166 old!) just couldn’t handle doing anything more than creating Word documents. Posting to blogger (or any blog software) caused delays, hang ups and too many headaches. But all that is over as I say goodbye to the ol’ P166 that had its daily warning messages (that I learned to ignore) and its constant hum that sounded like a disconnected phone (that I learned to tune out) and its lack of speakers (wow – this internet comes with sound!)
I’m not going dwell on why I took so long to get a new system. Right now, I’m basking in the multi-tasking joy of having a brand new computer that meets all of my needs – and then some.
So goodbye 166 and thanks for booting up each morning.
