Just got a call from Chantal.  She's going to be offline for a bit. It seems her computer contracted the H1N1 virus.  Who knew it would jump from human to 'puter? ....... Okay, so it's not the H1N1 virus, but it's some kind of virus! So she won't be online until it's fixed. |

Anna, thanks for letting folks know our computer status. For the moment, we are running Internet Explorer 8. We've been told IE 8 is a really crappy program, so we'll be installing Firefox this evening. We also discovered that there's an entire third service pack for XP that we didn't know about. We thought we had our computer configured to automatically install Windows updates, but that seems not to have worked. So we'll be installing SP3 this evening, too.
The upside of it is, while our Internet access has been sporadic, our offline computer software has been fine, and I'm already three or four pages into one of my OOTB #28 stories. So it's not all bad news.
I'll have computer access from work on Monday. I can't really do more from work than say hi and bye, but I can at least check in, and I'll let you know how Firefox functions as soon as I can.

Update: Folks, I can't use YM, at the moment. I can see the text that I submit into the buffer, but I can't read anything by me or anyone else in the YM chat box. I'll let you know if this changes. We do, however, have Firefox up and running, and everything else seems to be working well.

:: hugs :: I hope you get it straightened out! Firefox has been good for most everyone I've talked to, and good virus protection is a must.

I loathe IE8. The button placement doesn't make sense at all. I think some crackhead designed the layout. I wish I could like firefox enough to use it...
I hope you get everything fixed soon Chantal!

Andrea--Things are working pretty well, now. We still have a problem with the screen display flipping back to the previous page, every once in a while, but we can live with that. Firefox is working well, thank goodness.
