Fight to the finish

Published by at 5:47 pm under Uncategorized

I don’t think my computer loves me anymore. It happens.

Maybe it’s tired of being hauled all over the world, where it not only has to cope with the hard work and horror of dial-up, but being fondled by airport security and endless changes of time zone.

It won’t tell me what’s wrong, even though I have begged and pleaded. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and I never know why. There is no discernible pattern.

Finally, I decided to wine it and dine it with expensive new software, which it seemed to like at first, but now it’s being diva-like again. It may be even more temperamental than I am.

It will be even more annoyed when I blame my lack of posting and inability to respond to emails on its bad behavior, despite the fact that it’s completely true, and will probably punish me by acting even worse.

That, or it will act all perfect just to make me look bad. We’ll see.

    On OS X? Have you been reparing permissions?

    If the answers are Yes and What the Hell Are You Talking About, write me a note and I’ll walk you through.

    Well, that explains why I haven’t heard from you. 😉

    She is just pre-menstrual – she’ll perk up shortly. Glad you are back – what have you been up to?
