New Computer
Ok, both of my computers are hosed. The power cable for the laptop has been spotty for a couple of weeks and it's getting to the point where it's tough to get juice into the batteries. The batteries haven't really been holding a charge, but I don't know if that's another side effect of the bad cable. The batteries are 4 years old and I think they're about ready to give up.
I've been using the desktop, the only thing that really works on it is Firefox. Firefox pushed an upgrade and then I wasn't able to access secure sites, which means I couldn't do any work, email, etc. Format c: and an OS install later and I haven't been able to get the network card working. It would make a good computer for the kids, but ABL insists that we'd have to upgrade the OS to play their games.
ABL's been harassing me to buy a new computer so later today (I'm up past midnight) I may have a new computer to blog with...
