Where Am I?

My laptop is in the repair shop having an operation to remove two memory resident viruses.

First I tried to ignore it. It got worse. Then I tried to fix it myself. I spent hours and hours for naught and got very frustrated.

Now it's in the competent hands of "Yes, I can fix that!" Richard waiting its turn to be attended to in his one man repair shop.

Meanwhile, I'm using a ten year old laptop from the closet. Some of the keys don't work unless they're pounded on. It only has one USB port, no functional battery so I have to set the date and time everytime I turn it on, and it's slow, slow, slow.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

    It's good you have an expert nearby who can repair it. I wouldn't know where to begin.

    I'll bet your old laptop just needs a new battery, the kind which is very small. My old computer had the same problem about not retaining the date, etc and a $5 battery fixed it. I think it's called a "CMOS" battery (or something like that).
