Well, it hasn't been a happy few days at the Jersey Shore!  Yesterday morning, got up and as usual grabbed some coffee and began to check my email...

space (sxc)In the middle of returning a client's email my home office went on red alert...I was waiting for the Star Trek music to begin, at warp speed my computer began accessing the same web page over and over, flashing warnings and moving more quickly than it had since I downloaded Office Professional.

I was waiting for Captain Kirk, or at least Mr. Spock, to whisper some solution in my ear...but no, only my poor computer groaning and bleeping.  I had no photon torpedoes, my ship had entered the self destruct mode without the top officers shouting the code words!

I was sure the explosion was eminent...but then everything just stopped...frozen in time, like we entered a wormhole or something.space (sxc)

I gently picked up the overheated (and I'm sure exhausted machine) and took it to the computer doctor. He's not sure the old gal will make it, but he'll do his best.

So for now I'm back to using the old dinosaur, slow but steady!  I only hope the doctor can salvage my pictures and word documents.  If not, January 2009 really will be a brand new beginning!

Hi Laura! I would say this is a funny post, because it is!!.. but on the other hand OH NO!! It's not funny! So much of our lives, our work, our photos... are in the little machine.  I hope the computer doctor can save those for you.  That's a terrible feeling knowing what might be lost  :-(

Laura, you sure got a very good sense of humour. I have never read anything like this that reports a computer problem.

Morning Laura,

Nice to see you retained your sense of humor through all this. What was the doctor's verdict, or is he still in the operating room?

Well, after the Dr. is done with it, you may have been able to buy anew one with the fee they charge!
