Ever had a computer crash? I'm not talking about the extra PC that is stuck in the basement, the one your kids use that is slow as syrup because of all the viruses and spyware running on it. I'm talking about the PC that has all of your customer data, all your finances, all of your business records, all of your business software. Well, it happened to me last week. It got real slow and I was told my processor fan went out causing it to overheat and fail. Fortunately, I had all of the data backed up. Unfortunately all of the software has to be reloaded for the data to become usable. If you've ever been through this, you will understand what I went through. Had to reload drivers for the two printers, set up the network again, reload Quickbooks, which is still telling me that I have a new version that is not compatible with the older version(??????) Well, it works. My printer is printing everything so it looks all smashed on left side of the page. I only have 25 days left to register my MS Office 2003(?????). My other PC's do not recognize this one, but this one recognizes them. My office is a mess and there is stuff all over the place. My CPA is asking for a copy of Quickbooks and it will not let me make a disk for him. My customers have been calling asking for things I can't find and I can't seem to balance my checking.

The guy who designed and built my new PC told me all I need to do is reload the software, No big deal, may take only an hour or two.

Hmmmm . . . . Think I'll go drink beer and watch WWE wrestling.

Hey some interesting news! Scientist have found that Mars' temperatures have been changing in a very similar way as planet earth. I guess all the pollution we are creating here on earth has been so bad that it is causing a problem on other planets now. Remember, we need to limit our breathing to avoid the spread of the deadly gas, carbon dioxide, so try not to overdo it. So what happened to global warming, or is it now called climate change or maybe it is it global cooling now? I have such a problem keeping up with all of the latest trends.

Have a fabulous day!
