Yesterday I sat down at my computer for my second day of writing. I turn on the hateful thing and what happens? Dread blue screen saying something about registry. I tried everything I know how to do and then rushed off to Best Buy. There I found out it was the motherboard and because my computer is a Shuttle they couldn’t fix it there. What it would cost to ship and fix was a lot. A lot. So I came home and bought a new computer on Amazon which won’t arrive until Monday.
As you can see I’m writing this. I’m on my laptop. And although I don’t like writing on it I’ll try tomorrow. But next week will be lost. At least a few days of it while I set up the new one. I won’t even go into the programs I’ve lost. The new one comes with Vista. Yuck. I’ll have to learn that, also. And how do I get Itunes to recognize me on the new computer? Nevermind, this is a writing blog.
But I do want to say that anyone who’s written me an email and I haven’t responded, please send it again. Lost all my mail, too.
The whole thing is very frustrating. Oh, I backed up my four pages on a flash drive so that’s okay. And I have an external drive that holds a lot of stuff. I haven’t lost any writing.
This sucks.

Man, I love writing on my laptop. I'm so much more productive on it than on my desktop. But sorry to hear about the crap out at the worst possible time.
I hate writing on laptops unless I hook up a real keyboard and mouse to it. I did send an email saying my mother was back in the hospital and I will write soon. Which I will. Technology is just moving way too fast.
