Re: The joys of computer ownership
Oh, the irony.
After all the fixing, followed by all the tweaking (and a couple of mistakes that required re-imaging), I have achieved computer nirvana. (Well, almost.) Windows Search even did a contents search on all my PDFs. I can find anything and everything on this machine now.
And it's a good thing I have my whole hard drive to keep me occupied, because this morning our FIOS went out. Something's wrong at the box--no internet, no TV (on Super Sunday--my poor husband), no phone. Verizon can't send anyone until Wednesday. (I had a fit and Xfinity was looking good until I realized that they're still cleaning up after the hurricane.)
I can get online because my phone has a hotspot account, but I'm starting to wonder if the gods of information technology have affixed a target to my back. It's just weird.
