Karin Bartsch's Journals

To keep you updated about my computer:

We drove to Corpus Christi and visited a big Verizon Wireless Store.  We left the notebook there for over 2 hours to get it diagnosed. Luckily Walmart was the neighboring store. We killed the last half hour being there by sitting in the McDonalds restaurant and having a coffee and a cookie - and observing people. Boy, had we fun with it.....

It turned out that the broadband modem was gone, they had to order a new one - at my expense - $ 50.00. It arrived 2 days ago. Yesterday I had to call  in at Verizon and had it validated. It works now like a charm, with full signals and without any interruptions, no matter how long the idle time for the computer is. By now I have everything sorted out, all pictures etc.  The document folder was a "Temporary Burn Folder"  which drove me "nuts" by showing a bubble all the time telling me that there are folders sitting there to be burned onto a disk - everytime I saved something. I figured out by clicking on properties that I could hide the entire temporary burn status. Since then there is peace all over the screen and the renamed "Document" folder is silent.....

I was really proud of myself.....

I have to work hard on my resolution to shorten my time sitting on the computer because I really love it. But I love Dieter also and he does not deserve to be neglected.

It is very hot here and it does not rain. A few drops are in the forecast - will see.

Have a very good summer everyone!
