I Back!
Once again I must apologize for my computer outage since Friday morning. When she was just able to talk, Tobey would say "I be Back" as she would leave a room and proudly announce "I Back!" as she returned.
Well, I back!
I always aplauded the excellent preventative maintenance of orgainizations I worked with. It is so easy to get so busy with the work one is doing and forget to do the little things of preventive maintenance. I don't welcome Jeanie, with her form first efforts, to invade my small office because of my function first efforts.
It cost me dearly this week. A few weeks ago, I got a terrible hint that Hilda III, this computer Jeanie lets me spend so much time with, was seriously sick. It was slow, but had no viruses according to my Microsoft Security System. I hit start and restart and it reacted nearly not at all, although it did come up with its "Gateway" name and the Pentium 4 logo in the corner. It would go no farther.
A couple of days later, I was shuffling around in my office and I looked up and, as if a miracle, my desktop with the myriad icons were there on my monitor. I used this girl happily until Thursday night when similar circumstances occurred and I cautiously tried again to restart. The same stall after Gateway appeared occurred. I called Shawn Baird and he picked up my PC Friday morning.
He returned the sick girl after yesterday's OSU game and it is now working fine.
The main problem appeared to be the accumulation of dust inside the PC cabinet. After Shawn, my guru, cleaned it up and removed some programs, which appeared to be heavy draws on the CPU usage, Jeanie's competition, Hilda III, is back!
I don't know if anybody cares to be without my dribble for a while, but I know that I missed Hilda. I enjoy welcoming the email contributors and passing on the Conservative Christian values to my SamKat blog and corresponding with my fellow University of Kentucky fans.
Thanks Shawn! You earned your money and Hilda is working fine now.
Sam
