Well, sweetie, I really did it now. I have been having such trouble with that miserable computer of mine. It barely was functioning anymore. Yesterday, any time I opened a program I would get an error saying ?committed illegal operation, will be shut down, turn off all programs and restart your computer.? Well, I was trying to get a message out to Arline and this new guy, Teddy, and after two hours, I was still rebooting the computer and so I gave it a strong, vicious kick. The tower slammed against the back of the love seat and scared the heck out of Heidi. Well, it still ran after that but it still wouldn?t open any programs so I turned it off. :P I figured I would try again this morning ? except that it wouldn?t turn on at all. It was stone cold dead, like what happened to you.
I sent an email to Nancy S, hoping her husband Jeff could help out. This is going to suck if I can?t get it to turn on because I don?t have anything I wrote backed up. My journals for February and the first of March and all the short stories I wrote are all on the hard drive?and no where else. ARRRRRRRRRGH! Billy thought I might have kicked something loose on the inside, causing it to jam. Elfie called me and when I told her what happened she thought that perhaps something inside went bad, like the motherboard. I asked her if Billy?s guess might be right too and she said yes. What an idiot I am! Accomplished absolutely NOTHING. Blah. I?m going to wait a few days to see what happens and then I may take Teddy?s suggestion and buy a new Dell computer with Windows XP and Office 2000 on it.
