We have been have some computer problems here lately. 

I have gone from a computer hater to someone who is discovering how wonderful they are.  Don't get me wrong... I still don't know squat about them.  But I do love all that I am able to do.  I have learned to google everything and am constantly amazed at all the great resources I am finding for school, gardening, canning, cooking, you name it. 

One sight that I visit often has been informing me that my computer is out dated and that I need to upgrade.  All I had to do was click a simple button and I would have a more current running system.  So after seeing this day after day,  I pushed the button.

Well...it seems that my computer was not equipped for any upgrades.  It wasn't long that everything went caplooey.  As Todd said the "blue screen of death has reared its ugly face."   A friend heard of our plight and offered me a computer that she was going to donate to a local charity.  So I am back on line but this is only a temporary fix.  It seems this "new" computer doesn't like my printer and won't talk to it so I can e-mail and compose but I can't print.  Oh well.   

Right now I am still installing programs and trying to bring this computer up to where the other one was.  It will be a slow process so bear with me.
