I thought that this would be the week I would be buying a new computer. The switching off thing had got ridiculous and no amount of de bugging or spy botting was making any difference. But no, the problem with the 'puter has been remedied and we are now the proud owners of a ball of dust the size of a week's worth of lint from the tumble dryer in winter. I am so ashamed. One of my landlords suggested that windows had lost its mind; another one suggested that I disconnect the power cable and then reconnect it which I think is the posh version of switching it on and off at the plug. Richard's diagnosis at a distance was over heating. It turned out that Richard was the lucky winner of an evening at the madhouse with a can of that cleaning air and a little brush. It seems that 4 years of not cleaning inside the box is a bit too long! Now its staying on as long as we want it to but the sound doesn't work.... Then the next morning I switched on the monitor and it stayed awake long enough to boot up then went black. Mmmmm time for a new one. So along with the mound of dust, we are now the proud owners of a flat screen monitor - about 5 years or more behind the times! Its smallness frees up lots of room on the desk for more junk, like pens, and hopefully it will use less power too. We also had to buy a new tv this week but that's another story. And now Blogger isn't recognising my return key....... New keyboard? Please not.
