We hauled ourselves over to Fry's Electronics this morning bright and early to buy a new CPU to replace my dead one. (Its carcass lies strewn about the dining room table after the post mortum)
Lo and behold, the computer we found advertised on the internet site, does not exist at the actual STORE. . . . Not easily daunted, we then spent quite some time pricing out individual components to see if we could cobble something together. Well, we could, but there would be no operating system, which the other CPU comes loaded with.
So we came home.
Went on line.
Have found one.
But in order to get it, I have to fork over my credit card number. Not my favorite thing to do. I HAVE the stupid money. I don't LIKE charging it.
But I have no choice at this point. The company is a good one though as my son buys things from them all the time.
So I am in here, stealing time on Hub Man's computer to let you know, that I will be down yet another unspecified number of days.
No, I will NOT be paying extra for "next day air" delivery. Thank you very much.
At this point, I am a bit numb.
Apathy cannot be far behind.

Strange as it seems you can get more done than with real money in the cyber world.
As long as your son recommends the place, giving your card number should be safe enough. I use it for my mail order medications, but I really hate giving out the number.
What I really hate is when some organization wants my SSN. Why? What do they need that for? That's the one number that really needs to be protected. The DMV and the hospital, maybe, but I can't think of anyone else who needs that info.
As long as the Hub Man's puter is operational, I expect something from you until you can get all your fonts and the Little Red Hen back.
Shalom
