Peggy’s bird is still alive and increasing in size although he is getting pretty dusky living in the ashes of former campfires.
My faithful Toshiba computer which has been operating in a nominal fashion for too long seems to be failing. It may have a virus or it may just be very tired but regardless of the problem I am off to Harrisburg to buy a new computer at Costco today. Considering that I am an ignorant moron when it comes to computers, this concept worries me because I will be required to figure out how to operate the new, improved computer with it’s new, improved software. I am convinced that many people will tell me that the new stuff is better but I also know those folks are full of shit. I fondly remember my original desktop model which had Windows 3.1 which was all I ever needed.
I tremble at the thought of a new machine. I hate to acknowledge that I am a miserable craven coward about computers but I justify it by being a wimp and a chicken.
Late update: I bought a new computer today and found almost immediately after starting it up that I cannot operate it because I am a Luddite or whatever they call neolithic bozos unable to operate devices that five year old children can run.
