simple computer technology for genealogists

While the long wait for the new computer goes on, and on, and on, the laptop is still hanging in here. So, I can write you a quick post.

Hey Regs! That’s short for regulars.

In case you don’t follow me on Twitter, (tsk) my desktop computer died. I’m limping along on an old laptop that could kick the bucket any second. I could be thrown into computerlessness in an instant.

DELL is sending me a state-of-the-art replacement computer because they’re tired of hearing about the graphics card that kept crashing.

As we know, that’s an eternity in computer time.

So, I’m just going to have to go outside and enjoy the rest of the summer. Or catch up on sleep. Or something. Life is tough but someone has to put up with it.

I’ll be back whenever I get here.
