Me and Computers
Oct 30, 2018 16:35:50 #
I know it's not me because I never do anything wrong, so it must be the computers' fault. My home-made machine is finally working almost perfectly, but my old Dell desktop is acting up. It was working fine this morning, but when I woke it from hibernation or restarted it (I forget which), the monitor stayed in Sleep mode - amber light, rather than blue. Shutting down and restarting didn't help. The computer seems to be starting okay, and the cable is connected. I'll try another cable, but I think it's just being spiteful - getting ready for a real shocker tomorrow - Halloween!
I'm not looking for a solution here, just complaining, since that's always worked so well in the past.

I woke up this morning feeling down in the mouth and looked around and half the pillow was gone.

You can have the other half tonight.

The more stuff you accumulate the more problems you will have. Perhaps less is more would apply to Jerry's problem list?

I have LOTS of stuff and I don't have 1/10th the problems Jerry has.
I don't think it's the stuff. :)

I think you may be right. I must have a bad aura.

With seven computers, not counting the old, broken ones, I guess I'm asking for trouble.

Thanks. I'll try to avoid them.

I hate "hibernation mode". By not doing a full reboot you will never be able to clear the memory of unused junk.
