When a Computer Dies...


I've just returned from a visit with my sister and her family in Florida. Last year when I stayed in the West Palm Beach area with them, I was able to access the web on their 10 year old Compaq and use dial-up to write about the state of Florida Real Estate on this blog. However, this was the year the poor old thing finally succumbed to hardening of the hard drive, or whatever virus old computers die of, and went dark for the last time.
On Christmas Eve, we went shopping for a shiny new HP desktop model, and I installed it for them. I just received my first email, informing me that they now have their high speed cable connection.
I'm pleased to be home and back on my DSL network.
Happy New Year to all my readers.
