Misery at getting it, or at not getting it? Commiserations either way!

Misery at not getting it, no way we can afford it but he's got me dreaming now. Oh well, lots of people worse off. Including bouncy and her very drafty van.

I hope it all turns out well for you Del.

Many years ago, I lived in something very similar for 6 months in some woods outside Tunbridge Wells Except mine did have windows.

Hugs, commiserations, sympathy, bad vibes to ex, big slug (talking of ex) of loopy juice, chill pills and anything else you might find useful at this juncture. Sheesh! Talk about going through it! You must be some kind of super-powered bum magnet, girl! No wonder you need boardie therapy! Hope all goes better than it sounds... And sorry for missing your posts - was at a 3-day conference with rubbish interwebs.

I realize this is small comparatively, but I am beyond frustrated. For the last couple of months I've been having wonky problems with my external drive which houses my email through Outlook, all my docs and all my pics. I would get autorun errors and have to close and reopen email or reboot the computer. Made sure to let Hubby (my IT guy) know each time it happened. So, he leaves town last Thursday, gone for 10 days at a con of his own, without once looking at the problem. I'd like to take a moment to add here that he spent 3 days working on his dad's laptop before he left.

This morning I lost connection to the drive completely. Rebooted, unplugged, replugged, swapped ports, swapped cables - nada. The port on the external drive is wobbly, so I'm assuming at this point that it's a bad port. Which means, I'm screwed until he gets back. I had emails from teachers that I cannot access now. Other info in emails and contacts that I cannot access now. Yes, I know that I can go directly to our provider and access new emails, or use my Yahoo account. I'm not totally out of commission, just seriously inconvenienced. And I'm am very, very grateful that I still have internet access so that I can vent to you lovely people.

I am not happy. Was it really too much to ask to make sure a known problem was fixed before leaving? Really?

My sympathies, Catch-up.

It IS very frustrating when computers don't work properly, and having to constantly turn them on / off / reboot / slap / throw out the window, etc., can drive you nuts.

My computer limps along (just) as there is a problem with the volume something-or-other, and I cannot run the checkdisk facility as it just cannot complete the task.
The last time we got a computer guy in to give it a m.o.t., he took it away for 3 days, and I felt like I'd had a bereavement!
