\"\"<\/a>Well, friends, I think I continue to get the prize for computer wackiness; if Mercury is the god of communication in them thar Greek parts, can he still be in retrograde?<\/p>\n

If you recall, I was drowning in Dell computer issues and if you were following my tales of woe through the years, (yes, years) you would now know that:
\n\u2022I had an original laptop that I purchased in 2009 and within a year it had to be replaced due to puter poltergeist;
\n\u2022that in a little over a year the replacement computer had to be replaced due to freezing and the same wacky poltergeist as its predecessor;
\n\u2022that a “mini” computer, soon after, began to display the same disease;
\n\u2022that the disease I speak of consisted of typed words and letters flying to other lines on the page thus making my writing less than cogent and appearing as though I were speaking in tongues;
\n\u2022that around that time I purchased a Mac out of disgust and desperation;
\n\u2022that both the replacement computers took months to set up and run properly and had to be replaced three more times.<\/p>\n

I rest my case and my insanity and am knocking wood that all appears to be working well, even my five year old desktop.<\/p>\n

And then this happened:<\/p>\n

I had been so busy with my PC issues with Dell that I did not even bother firing up the new Mac; it sat lonely in its case having been shunned by its roommates of a different operating system. But I decided on Friday night to pull it out and let it visit with holiday company.<\/p>\n

Here’s what happened:<\/p>\n

\u2022I booted it up;
\n\u2022I marveled at its brushed aluminum beauty;
\n\u2022I tried to briefly reacclimate myself–the Mac\/PC divide is a chasm for me;
\n\u2022The computer began to do an update that required rebooting;
\n\u2022It froze;<\/p>\n

\u2022It died;
\n\u2022I was floored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
