I'm dyin' here! I am so thankful to have access to my email through Mike's laptop, but seriously, I'm going nuts without my old computer. My calendar is a mystery, I have no idea what my passwords are for anything (I keep a list in Outlook), I can't upload or play with my pictures, I have to rush out and buy Valentine's since I don't have access to the ones I handmade for the kids, I can't print coupons (or anything else for that matter)...this seriously stinks!

The good news is that a new computer is on its way as we speak and there's a pretty good chance all of the data on our old computer is salvageable. The other good news is that when we found out our computer genius friend was too busy to help us in a timely manner, God plopped another I.T. guy in our laps that is willing to help us for free. That's what I get for venting at Bible study, I guess! I had no idea this particular guy played with computers for a living.

It is extremely unsettling not knowing what is on my schedule each day. I don't think I've missed any major appointments yet, thanks to random emails and reminders I keep getting, but I feel lost without it.

It's also driving me nuts that all of my posts are picture-less. I may try and upload my Canon software onto our laptop. If I can just figure out how to get the CD tray unstuck...

Ooooh, I know the feeling! Doesn't it feel like you're floating some sort of deep-space vacuum without a computer?
Scary how attached we get to these stupid technological things and lose our abilities to survive just as HUMANS.
Hope it all works out well for you, and very soon!
Oh, honey, I feel your pain! When our old pc died several years ago I was lost with my husband's laptop. We back up everything now into an external hard drive, so hopefully if this one crashes it won't be a pain to get right back to normal!
Mike showed me how to use the CD tray when I borrowed your laptop last weekend. On the CD tray, which is on the left side of the lap top, there's a little hole. Point the tip of a pin into the hole and it manually pops the tray. Discard the CD I left in there, insert yours and you're good to go!!
Love you :-)
Mom
