A Quick Update
So, the big news this morning is that my computer trackball is now working. I have NO idea why it was not working last night and decided to work this morning. My theory is that it was pouting, but who knows. Anyway, In my half-asleep state on my way to the bathroom this morning, I turned on the computer as I usually do and then went on to the kitchen to make coffee as I usually do. When I got back to the workroom, the computer had booted up and was back to its normal state. I even printed out a junk email to test the printer, and it, too, is working perfectly. The most interesting part of all this, besides the fact that it confirms my hypothesis that my computer is actually a living device with a mind of its own, is how much I got done yesterday with no computer access…

I guess the gremlins moved out of the tower. In my home the gremlins won’t move into the tower (it’s too dusty).

Don’t we all operate better after we’ve been re-booted? The nice thing about Windows XP is that very often it sorts itself out with a re-boot.

Well, that’s good. It gives me hope about my own computer which started acting up again, yesterday.

My speakers did that one time. I’m glad that it wasn’t anything more serious.

Guess the computer needed a little “me” time.

Wonderful! I’m so glad to hear it.

Yes, computers are definitely living devices with minds of their own. They’re resistant to change, apparently, which is why yours was pouting yesterday. Glad it’s operational today.

Its uncanny how computers seem to have their good days and bad days.

Just FYI….computers are MALE. THAT should explain everything, don’t you think? Glad it decided to cooperate! Love to you! ~M

Why is that when the computer doesn’t work we find things to do but when it is working we procrastinate doing those things? I am exactly the same way. I promise after the holiday I will start cleaning this place more and spend less time on the computer. LOL

I’ve seen that happen before. Sometimes, stuff just starts working again, without doing anything. It’s strange.

I’m glad it’s working again for you!!! Technology works in mysterious ways…

I think that computers have multiple personalities! 🙂 – – – –

I call it gremlins. But pouting is a good alternative.

I get more done when not on the puter too but I think a mix of other things & puter time is a must for me.
