My computer is fixed. 'Allegedley'. LMAO! After the new motherboard came in, nephew couldn't get the computer to even fire up. Told him to take it to get it diagnosed. Apparently hubby knows everyone who's anyone in any kind of business here. They took it to a 'friend' to get it diagnosed. Nice guy charged 25 instead of 55 to look at it. Apparently when nephew put in new motherboard, he broke the processor. It was cracked. Had to get a whole different motherboard too. Apparently nephew's idea of powerful enough really wasn't. I have an even faster proccessor now and 512 MB ram. Which is much more than I had. Now that everything is said to be fixed, the damn thing should work. Have a few more things to re-install. Ran into a little bug though. Through all my having to reload xp, apparently you can use the activation code too many times. Got 15 days. UGH! Gonna need to figure that out. If microsoft refuses to allow me to activiate my copy, after I explain my PC problems, I dunno. I'll take suggestions.

Steven's birthday is tomorrow, he'll be 3. Yesterday, I tried to get him to choose a flavor of cake mix. He said, "I want pitza'. I made him point at a box. He'll get his pizza. They went with their daddy today to spend Steven's $10 from my grandparents, as poker was canceled for tonight. Hopefully they won't bring home toy cars. *update* This is what he brought home:
My camera still has PMS, it's a robot noisy thing.
After I mess about a bit, I'll be testing to see if this pc can use my scanner properly. I also can do the business stuff for Karen. Should be fun. Will need to solve the activation problem first.

I'll be around to see ya'll soon. Apparently El Sid, the EVIL one, is back. Her's is a Christmas tree too. Your's is apparently 'charlie'. ;)
For this holiday season, remember our soldiers away from home. |
