Re-connected at last
It has been a strange, somewhat solitary week...
My computer was in the shop being de-bugged and for a solid week I was unable to connect with Facebook, my bank account, my online bill pays and my email friends - Hi everybody!
Moving my desk and office furniture has been on my list for far too long...first step was to unplug the computer, modem, monitor and mouse. OOPS. I probably should have taken a photo of where all those wires belong.
After several attempts to re-connect, I called my good friend to come over and straighten me out.
One wire plugged in the wrong port - literally 35 seconds and he had me up and running. :D Love you R.J. :D
Now when my armiore, and filing cabinet make it up the stairs my 'office' will be complete. Yay!
