Re: The joys of computer ownership
Ah, and apparently I'm not getting email from this site. Chalk up one more for the sorry state of my email.
Is that how you did it, Chris? Tripping over the computer? I trip over the power cord all the time, but I've always managed to catch myself. Maybe dropping the laptop was a blessing in disguise. (And how's your leg?)
Anyway, my laptop is fixed now. Well, mostly. I'm tweaking. If I were still using XP, it would be no problem, but even after a year, I'm just not as familiar with Windows 7. Today, my project is cleaning out all the duplicate files (mostly photos) on my HDD. (Yesterday, I got rid of all the duplicates in Outlook.) Of course, this project is just the run-up to organizing the entire household (in other words, I'm procrastinating), so there's an awful lot left to do before I feel like a normal person.
Still, I think I'm back now. I guess that means "one more thing to catch up on" to add to my list.
Yeesh.
