Yes. The lights are just coming back on-line.

After many days, I have Internet service again.

Lightning hit the telephone wire outside the house, which fried our phone line, it fried the modem and it toasted the router! Also, (more fun), my operating system crashed big-&*^-time and it took days to get it working even this good (i.e., only three four blue screens of death today – so far).

Nevertheless, I don’t think I can blame that on the OS totally, I believe I need to ‘flash my bios,’ [why do they call it that - it sounds really wrong! LOLOL] update the bios, and that may help the situation.

The computer may die on it’s own, but maybe not, if my patients runs out (after many, many, many days of work on this thing), I may end up killing it myself.

At least, I’m back on-line at this very moment in time – must try to look at the positives.

“Live in the now for who knows what evil blue screen will pop up next and take it all away!”  {Me:  It was I who just said that.}

Take care,
