I'm always just thankful that you take the time to post daily. I was worried all was not well though and it is good to know it was your computer that was ill and not you.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771731271944360497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-27218991540240377702011-09-25T23:29:47.681-04:002011-09-25T23:29:47.681-04:00So glad you got your computer back up and running ...So glad you got your computer back up and running before the DTs set in.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791317184998122691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-79351024229355320492011-09-25T21:51:29.627-04:002011-09-25T21:51:29.627-04:00Well, um, I've been camping with very little i...Well, um, I've been camping with very little internet access since Thursday - and just popped in to catch up ... and I really thought it was going to take me longer than it did!

It was the only thing that seemed to be done for 90 minutes. Other than being told that the line was fine ... but it's done.Dave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-70841240558548343652011-09-25T12:02:58.259-04:002011-09-25T12:02:58.259-04:00"I remain convinced that the 'unplug it, ..."I remain convinced that the 'unplug it, now plug it back in' strategy is just a ruse to make you feel like you are getting assistance."<br /><br />As daughter of a tech support guy, I can assure you that turning something off and on again *is* a valid strategy. It resets everything to the standard settings, and neatly solves anything that happened due to random fluctuations. I have seen many problems in many different electronic systems that were fixed by turning it off and on, to the point where that's always the first thing I try.Ettinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230821659466586897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-15098182248839762482011-09-25T11:45:34.056-04:002011-09-25T11:45:34.056-04:00You realize they tell you to turn the modem off an...You realize they tell you to turn the modem off and back, because most of the time it works?

And here I was picturing you and Joe kicking back and relaxing somewhere nice though I do admit that there was this little nagging worry that you were not posting because something was amiss.
