Mom turned her computer on this morning and got ... a black screen and a blinking cursor. So mom turned it off and tried again. She got ...a black screen and a blinking cursor. Mom turned it off and went to work. She tried not to worry about it, but you know what that is like. When mom came home from work, she turned the computer on and got ... you guessed it, a black screen and a blinking cursor.
She called Auntie! After talking with Auntie, she took the hard drive out of dad's computer and tried to put it in her computer. Her computer didn't like that. She couldn't put her hard drive in dad's computer because it is connected with a different type of cable. Auntie called it something like SA blah blah. So, mom put dad's computer back together and then put her hard drive back in her computer and turned it on. Guess what she got?
HER COMPUTER BACK! Yeah! Mom figures she dodged a bullet. So she backed up all her files and was a happy camper. She also made some granola. She forgot to make it yesterday. Oh, and one other thing. Mom doesn't drink coffee. Never has.
But now mom is tired. Mr. Karate did not leave til very late last night and mom worked hard yesterday so she is tired. She told her co-worker she didn't know what got into her yesterday to do all that and her co-worker said "Oh, that's not too hard to believe." Guess mom's like that at work too!
Phew!

I am really glad that your Mom's computer came back when she put the hard drive back in. It was very smart of her to back up everything once it was working again. I'm not surprised that your Mom is tired now. She was very, very busy yesterday.
Roxy, we sure are glad your mom got the computer working again, cause we would miss your blog!

Please take it easy, you have been sick, REST my little angel
Thank goodness your computer got fixed back up! That was a close call.
Ugh. Computers can be awful! I'm glad that story had a happy ending!
Computers!! We can't live without them!! Glad your computer didn't totally crash.
Love, Seadra and Zoe
Whew! What a close call. If your Auntie wasn't computer-smart, your mom might have had to take the computer to a shop and then she wouldn't have been able to afford any treats for you and your sister for a loooong while. So be sure and give Auntie an extra kiss when she comes by.

whew! glad she gotted her 'puter werking!
Glad to hear the computer is back on! It is horrible when they act up - you never know if they come back or if you might lose all your data.... We made our staff start to back up everything on-line - but it's WEEKS later and still not all data have been uploaded.... TECHNOLOGY!
Our maid remembers the times before the internet, can you believe it?
I'm glad your Mom was able to fix her computer. I know we enjoy reading your blogs.
I haven't had a pc or laptop problem for ages. Back up faithfully just in case. But losing the dsl is another story. About drove me insane earlier this year when I had to revert to dial-up for about 2 months.
You asked how did I get Bandit and Paisley to sit so still in their pics. Lots of training and treat bribery that was not available in the pics....lol.
Good thing Millie's mom knows about 'puters.Hope it stays working ;)
